Matt McGinn at Teach Ceoil

Dia daoibh, a chairde.

We're delighted to finally be able to host the amazing @mattmcginnmusic , tickets will go on general sale Friday but as always our mailing folks get first dibs tomorrow. and andy will be opening.

Most of you know Matt already so little by way of introduction is needed but for those few that aren't familiar.

Matt McGinn is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer from Co. Down, McGinn crafts songs that are a personal representation of his life experience. A former coal man, he found himself somewhat out of his water studying music at Queen's University in Belfast.

His third album 'Lessons of War' propelled him to prominence with his song ‘Bubblegum’, co-written with Mick Flannery, that echoed the Troubles in which he grew up, while his 2020 duet with Aoife Scott ‘Time Well Spent’ became one of the biggest Irish folk songs of the year. He has since released several successful singles and albums, earning praise from critics and fellow musicians alike, and his upcoming work features songs co-written by Paul Brady, Foy Vance to name a few.

For the rest of this year Matt will be hitting the road with legendary songwriter Paul Brady, who duets on and co-wrote Matt's 2025 single, 'Analog Man in a Digital World'.

As always we can't wait to host you all. Janie will have some lovely food prepared for you to snack on. These shows are BYO and we get it's a bit weird going into someone's house you maybe don't know, but please don't be shy. We promise to make you feel most welcome and most importantly give you a beautiful, personal experience that you'll hopefully carry with for a long time.
