Night Moves 2025: Oisin Leech Start Date Friday 2 May 2025 End Date Droichead Arts Centre, Stockwell Street, Drogheda +353 41 9833946 VISIT WEBSITE Night Moves at Droichead returns this May curated by SJ McArdle, with their first late-night club transforming every corner of Droichead Arts Centre into a captivating space. Audiences will enjoy ambient music in the gallery, experience a bespoke art installation by visual artist Vivienne Byrne and enjoy a music programme in the theatre featuring Oisin Leech with support from Dotts O' Connor. After a decade and a half in duo The Lost Brothers, Irish musician Oisin Leech announced himself in 2024 as a singer-songwriter of some distinction with his stunning solo debut album 'Cold Sea'. As crisp and clear as the North Atlantic Ocean beside which it was recorded, his album benefited from the subtle presence of some stellar musicians, namely Steve Gunn, M Ward, Dónal Lunny, Róisín McGrory, and Bob Dylan's bass player Tony Garnier but the acute sense of yearning was all Leech's own. Oisin's songs map exile, love, loss, and healing via erudite guitar and judicious use of synth and strings. The wilds of Malin, in north Co. Donegal helped inspire this quiet gem of a record. The songs, which are steeped in folk nestle up and whisper in your ear- they are deliberately uncluttered, even sparse. Like Malin itself, space and air are everywhere and the pace is unhurried. Yet, paradoxically, there is emotional intensity aplenty. Since the album's launch Oisin has been invited to share the stage with Vashti Bunyan, Lisa O’Neill, M Ward, Tindersticks and Gaz Coombes, and Droichead are delighted that he will share their stage for Nights Moves this May. Support on the night will be provided by Dotts O’Connor, celebrated as the guitarist of RTE Choice-nominated band Come On Live Long and Dirty Dreamer, unveils a remarkable shift in his musical odyssey with the launch of his new solo project. Departing from the collaborative ethos of his former groups, O’Connor delves into uncharted territory, guided solely by his intuition and personal reflections. O’Connor embraces the nuances of his daily musings, shaping his songwriting process with unparalleled authenticity and vulnerability. Dotts has recently released his debut album 'Sorrow Won't Find Us' to critical acclaim. Curated by SJ McArdle. Visit Website for more information and to book tickets. Festival Extra at Drogheda Arts Festival. An innovative & dynamic programme designed to provide new & engaging night time cultural experiences across Drogheda & East Meath.
