Chris de Burgh

Join us as we celebrate a monumental milestone with Chris de Burgh – a dazzling 50 years in the music industry, as he embarks on his solo European 2025 tour.

‘The tour will be about referring back to when I started out, as a single guy with a guitar and piano. So, it will be me performing and talking about the music, talking about the origin of the songs and their background.‘ – Chris de Burgh

From his humble beginnings in 1974 with the debut album Far Beyond These Castle Walls to a career that spans the globe, Chris’ journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Reflecting on his first steps into music, Chris shares, ‘I had no concept that I was going to last as long as this. Fifty years? Wow!’ His initial success, marked by the single ‘Flying’ dominating the charts in Brazil for 17 weeks, was only the beginning.

Over the decades, Chris’ music has resonated with audiences worldwide, leading to over 45 million album sales, nearly 4,000 concerts, and a loyal fan base that has stood by him through the ups and downs of a relentless music career.

In 2024, to mark this incredible journey, Chris de Burgh is set to release a new album titled 50, featuring a selection of his favourite songs from each of his studio albums, alongside three brand-new tracks. This album is not just a celebration of his past works but a testament to his ongoing passion for music and songwriting.

Accompanying the album release, Chris will embark on a solo tour, offering fans a unique experience as he performs with just his guitar and piano, sharing the stories and origins behind his most beloved songs.

Amble

2024 has been a year to remember for Amble.

Their four-track EP Of Land and Sea was released on all streaming platforms on Friday, 16th February. This release coincided with their sold-out tour of Ireland and the UK.

Amble are Robbie Cunningham, Oisin Mc Caffrey and Ross Mc Nerney, a 3-piece ensemble of songwriters hailing from the midlands and west of Ireland. In only ten months, Amble have garnered over 135k monthly Spotify listeners and is fast approaching the 4,000,000-stream total, averaging over 30,000 streams a day.

To date, Amble have sold out all shows, The Workman’s Cellar (April 2023), The Sugar Club (November 2023) (selling out five months in advance) and now sold out their entire debut Irish Tour five months in advance. They have also sold out their debut London headliner, adding a second sold-out date and upgrading and selling out their Glasgow debut in King Tuts. If Amble’s debut EP, 2023’s Amble (Live), introduced a new musing, trad-tinged trio of songwriters to the Irish music scene, 2024’s highly distinctive Of Land and Sea finds the group expanding their sound to an ever-more global audience.

The unique perspective of three individual songwriters creates a peerless body of work that only enhances the now familiar ruminative observations on the world and, more pertinently – the stories unfolding each day within it.
