SUMMARY:PJ Gallagher
DESCRIPTION:***This is a seated show*** \nHot off the heels of his 2016 success with Irish Box Office smash hit film “The Young Offenders\, one of Ireland’s most popular comedians\, PJ Gallagher\, brings his new show “Dickhead” to the Spiegeltent on Saturday 28th October.  \nA natural on stage\, PJ’s previous tours\, Concussion and Separated at Birth (with Joanne McNally)\, received critical acclaim and played to sell out audiences. The Dublin funny man is also a festival favourite and regularly plays sold-out shows at Kilkenny Cat Laughs\, The Vodafone Comedy Carnival and the comedy stage at Electric Picnic. \nWell known as the star of RTE’s Naked Camera\, PJ’s various personas in the series included ladies man Jake Stevens\, ‘Dirty Auld One’ and a brilliantly gormless taxi driver who thoroughly duped sports pundits George Hook and the late Bill O’Herlihy. PJ’s other TV shows include Meet your Neighbours\, Next Week’s News and BBC’s The I Hate Show. He also participated in season 4 of Celebrity Bainisteoir\, in which he managed St Patrick’s GAA Club Donabate\, \nA talented broadcaster\, Gallagher presents P. J. and McCabe in the Morning with Jim McCabe on Classic Hits 4FM. More recently\, PJ has also garnered success as an actor. A graduate of the Gaiety School of Acting\, he performed at last year’s Dublin Theatre Festival in Alien Documentary and appeared in The Young Offenders\, which won Best Irish Film at the 2016 Galway Film Fleadh. \nThat guy cracked me up for an entire afternoon that I forgot to meet my wife for lunch. It’s classic comedy but with a twist.”  – Conan O’Brien \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott
DESCRIPTION:***This is a standing show and is strictly over 18’s*** \nPaul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott return to the Wexford Spiegeltent Festival on Saturday 28th of October. \nPaul Heaton has been a wonderfully astute songwriter – composer of the most joyful melodies\, the most barbed lyrics – for four full decades now. But where some artists\, even venerable ones\, can tend to coast somewhat in midlife\, Heaton\, along with his musical foil Jacqui Abbott\, is just hitting his stride. The duo’s new album\, ‘Crooked Calypso’\, brims with his newly-discovered zest for life. \n‘Crooked Calypso’ is 12 tracks long\, and boasts all the hallmarks of Heaton’s inimitable songwriting: songs buoyant with melody\, and redolent with snark\, but also real emotion. One of the songs ‘Blackwater Banks’\, is a most gorgeous waltz that celebrates Ireland and Irishness with a rarefied elegance that we would be proud to call our own. Inspired by Jacqui’s distant Irish roots and a cycling trip Paul made through the Emerald Isle including a stop off in the Sky and the Ground\, it could be a new Irish national anthem. \nPaul Heaton first found fame in the mid-1980s with The Housemartins\, surely one of that decade’s more gleefully idiosyncratic acts. Who else\, after all\, dared mix Christian imagery with Marxist leanings\, a dollop of humour and a side dish of gospel? By 1989\, he was fronting the Beautiful South\, and set about subverting the entire concept of the radio-friendly love song. Beautiful South’s canon was\, and remains\, full of lovely red roses that teetered on stalks of sharp thorns. ‘Song For Whoever’\, which reached number two in 1989\, was to all intents and purposes a classic ballad\, but it was also one written from the point of view of a cynical songwriter who pursued love simply to write more songs about love; and it remains wryly amusing to hear ‘Don’t Marry Her’ still getting heavy rotation on Heart FM today when you know that the album version of the polite single edit features the line “sweaty bollocks” and the joyful chorus of: “Don’t marry her\, fuck me”\, sung by Jacqui Abbott\, a former supermarket shelf stacker\, in arguably the most sublime country voice this side of Nashville. \nBeautiful South sold 15 million records before breaking up in 2007 due to “musical similarities”. Few of his peers could boast such sales. Heaton went solo\, while Abbott devoted time to raising her autistic son. When he contacted her again in 2011 with a view to collaborating once more\, Abbott was thrilled. And we are thrilled to welcome them back to the Spiegeltent once again. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Dermot & Dave The "Ah Sure Lookit" Tour
DESCRIPTION:***This is a seated show*** \n**Under 16’s will not be permitted** \n**16 & 17 year olds must be accompanied by an adult** \nToday FM’s presenters Dermot & Dave are bringing the “Ah Sure Lookit” tour to the Wexford Spiegeltent on Sunday\, October 29th. \nDermot Whelan and Dave Moore debuted their comedy show at the first Cork Comedy Festival last September and the following month at the Vodafone Comedy Carnival in Galway. Both shows sold out in record time.\nThis is the first time the pair has taken to the stage for a comedy gig but they’re well used to each other\, having worked together in radio for over 12 years.\nAsked what people can expect from their stand-up show\, Dermot Whelan said: “Imagine a bonkers radio show that grows legs and arms and a head and starts firing out craic and waving its arms like an angry King Kong in that movie. Not even close.”\nDave Moore commented: “It’s all our listeners’ favourite characters\, stand-up\, improvised comedy\, music and an interactive gardening segment – what’s not to love?!”\nListeners to The Dermot & Dave Show on Today FM will be familiar with their weekly ‘Ah Sure Lookit’ feature where a friend of the show ‘Mac from Carlow’ gives random clues and people are asked to guess what it is Mac is talking about. Although the comedy show has nothing to o with the feature\, the lads just like the name! \n

SUMMARY:The Riptide Movement
DESCRIPTION:***This is a standing show and is strictly over 18’s*** \nWe are delighted to welcome The Riptide Movement back to the Wexford Spiegeltent on Sunday 29th October. \nThe Riptide Movement are four lifelong friends from Lucan\, who began their musical journey in 2006.\nThey self-released their first two albums ‘What About The Tip Jars?’ (2009 – produced by legendary producer\, Tony Colton) and ‘Keep On Keepin’ On’ (2012 – self-produced).

The buzz from playing live is better than any drug\, it’s what keeps us going.” Mal\, TRM \nThere is an authenticity in everything they do. It permeates their sound and defines their approach. \nThey are dreamers with a plan\, on the journey of a lifetime. \nThis is special. You do not want to miss it! \n\n\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Imelda May
DESCRIPTION:***This is a standing show and is strictly over 18’s*** \nImelda May has become one of Ireland’s most celebrated female artists. Discovered by Jools Holland\, who asked Imelda to support him on tour\, Imelda has gone on to perform alongside legendary artists including Lou Reed\, Bono and Smokey Robinson and can count high profile artists including Bob Dylan (who recently revealed he is a fan of Imelda in a rare interview with Bill Flanagan) and Bono amongst her fans. \nProduced by the legendary T Bone Burnett\, Imelda’s new album ‘Life. Love. Flesh. Blood’ was recorded over seven days in Los Angeles and features musical contributions from Jeff Beck (on ‘Black Tears’)\, Jools Holland (on ‘When It’s My Time’) and an accomplished group of backing musicians including the core trio of guitarist Marc Ribot (Tom Waits\, Elvis Costello)\, drummer Jay Bellerose (Robert Plant and Alison Krauss) and bassist Zach Dawes (The Last Shadow Puppets\, Mini Mansions). \nOn release ‘Life. Love. Flesh. Blood’ topped the UK Americana chart and landed No.5 in the official UK album chart (her second UK top 5)\, ahead of artists including Texas and Drake with her strongest first sales week ever in the UK. One of the most critically acclaimed releases of 2017\, the album spent over a month in the Top 20 and recently returned to the Top 10 \nImelda’s new single ‘Girl I Used To Be’ is out now Decca Records. The track is taken from her Top 5 new album ‘Life. Love. Flesh. Blood’ and follows the BBC Radio 2 playlisted previous singles ‘Call Me’\, ‘Black Tears’ and ‘Should’ve Been You’. A hauntingly beautiful acoustic ballad\, ‘Girl I Used To Be’ a memoir of Imelda’s life growing up in the Liberties area of Dublin\, and the lessons learned she will pass on to her daughter.  \n“I love those old story songs where you’re taken on a journey from beginning to end\,” says Imelda of the track. “Songs you’re riveted with. Like when you’re in the car and you sit in the driveway\, because you can’t turn the radio off\, you have to listen to the end of the story. I thought\, ‘I’d like to write one of them’. The lyrics are about my family\, and my daughter\, and myself and my life growing up in Dublin. We didn’t have much money but my parents are fabulous\, creative and open-minded people. They gave me art and literature and encouraged me to do whatever was in my heart and I want to do that with my daughter.” \n  \n“Imelda May is an amazing singer.  Her voice can illuminate and bring to life songs like no one else.  I was so delighted to hear her new album where she explores new directions and new ideas.  She is a unique talent amongst the great vocalists of today”. \nJools Holland \n  \n“I love the girl she used to be but I think I love even more the woman she’s become. Still mischievous and playful\, still a siren but there’s an ache in her voice now that has me with a glass at my ear to the wall of her world where trouble has entered the room next door. She cries Black Tears\, she’s not inconsolable but you sense a girl retching in her bathroom… addiction… it’s not alcohol\, it’s not drugs… it’s a heart broken like a glass\, spilling over\, smashed on the tiles. There’s an erotic power here that’s not just feminine power. She makes truth telling an invitation to intimacy. How Bad Can a Good Girl Be is a stone cold classic that’ll outlive all of us. It’s always a wonder to watch an alchemist at work\, turning dull gray metals of a life too experienced into gold”. \nBono \n  \n“I’ve never met anyone quite like Imelda May. She is full of life. When I first happened onto her music\, she was a punky Irish Rockabilly singer with a great band. I was intrigued by her deep feeling for and understanding of that American art form\, much of which\, of course\, had originated in Ireland. When I ran across her several years later\, she had gone through a change of lives and was writing about it with a wild intensity and singing about it in the most open hearted way. I was inspired by her honesty and her generosity\, and I continue to be intrigued.” – T Bone Burnett \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:King Kong Company
DESCRIPTION:King Kong Company All Kong-quering Ireland & UK Tour \nHaving brought their brand of Irish ‘get the f*** up and dance’ music to audiences at festivals across Ireland and Europe this summer\, King Kong Company will be taking their award winning live shows indoors at the end of 2017\, with their biggest tour ever\, including their first tour of the UK. \n  \nIt was a summer of memorable gigs. One gig at Vestrock put them in front of 10\,000 Dutch people (they know how to dance)\, the set at Glastonbury won over loads of new fans\, while the audience at Boomtown knew a thing or two about getting ‘something off that’. Their hometown gig at Waterford Spraoi was the largest in the festivals 25 year history\, the cake was well and truly iced with a performance in the biggest tent at Electric Picnic just gone! \n  \nAway from live gigs the band have been busy getting up to no good too. In June they launched a beer in collaboration with Wexford’s YellowBelly brewers. The beer\, Commotion Lotion\, was made with Buckfast. It proved to be a surprising hit with critics and beer lovers. In July the band were invited to play for the President Michael D. Higgins one Monday afternoon. As you do. They performed Donkey Jaw (he did look at his hands). Then in August the band released Involved\, their first track since their highly acclaimed debut in 2016. Within 24 hours\, the slow building banger\, proved to be their most popular track yet. \n  \nIt’s been a good run for a bunch of mates who got together in 2011. They started out back then releasing one music video a month and never had any intentions of gigging. But just like pints\, the first gig lead to another\, then another\, and here we are six years later and what do they have to show for themselves? Quite a lot\, actually. \n  \nCheck out King Kong Company as they embark on a 14 date Ireland and UK tour\, hiiting Wexford on Saturday 25th November 2017 \n

SUMMARY:Alison Spittle - Worrier Princess
DESCRIPTION:Alison worries. She worries so much she’s decided to do a show about it and now she can worry about making it a good show. \nAlison Spittle returns to Wexford Comedy Club\, after her hilarious appearance in the Thomas Moore Tavern at Jestfest 2017 and the antics with hecklers in Mackens\, we couldn’t wait to hear her nervous giggles once more. \nOne of Ireland’s fastest rising comedians\,the star and writer of RTE’s new major series ‘Nowhere Fast’ \, join Alison on her first tour. \nAs seen on RTÉ (Brendan O’Connor’s Cutting Edge\, Republic of Telly\, Des Bishop\, this is Ireland)\, TV3\, Sky Arts and heard on Newstalk (George Hook)\, this is Alison’s hilarious follow up to her smash-hit Fringe success …Discovers Hawaii. \n“Whether character or citizen\, Spittle comes across as a kind of genius.” **** IRISH TIMES \n“Breezily chatty and effusively funny\, Alison Spittle is a likeable combination of openness and chortling mischief.” THE SCOTSMAN \n“Spectacular in a beautifully surreal way” IRISH INDEPENDENT\n\nSupport on the night from Andrea Farrell (Stellar Comedian of the year) \n

SUMMARY:Mick Flannery
DESCRIPTION:Mick Flannery returns to Wexford once again for a very special Christmas performance on Saturday Dec 30th\, 8pm at the Crown Live. \nIn the end of the day and the heel of the hunt\, you’re left with the songs. Everything else comes and goes – the shows and the tours and the applause and the acclaim\, which goes with them\, the prattle and the palaver which accompany an album release. Everything else fades out of view. Everything else doesn’t matter in the long run. But the songs remain. The songs you write on your own stick around. They’re going to be here for many years to come so they deserve to be treated with due care and utmost respect in the creation process. \nMick Flannery realised this a long time ago. He also realised that songwriting was the best part of this strange job of being a jobbing-gigging-talking-singing musician. \n
