This weekend, Monroe’s Live hosts two incredible headline acts, bringing a mix of nostalgia and original new music.
This Friday, December 20, Nan Fee and the After 8s will take to the stage to pay tribute to Fleetwood Mac’s legendary album Rumours. The weekend continues on Saturday, December 21, with Galway’s rising independent artist, Colohan.
Fresh from performing for President Michael D Higgins at Áras an Uachtaráin this summer, the After 8s are joining forces with Nan Fee for this special tribute night this Friday, from 9pm.
Their tribute to the Rumours album is a heartfelt and electrifying journey through Fleetwood Mac’s seminal work. Released in 1977, Rumours remains a cornerstone of rock history. The album’s powerful tracks, including ‘Go Your Own Way,’ ‘Dreams,’ and ‘The Chain,’ have made it one of the best-selling records of all time.
Tickets for this celebration of Rumours on Friday, December 20, are €20.
On Saturday, December 21, Colohan, one of Galway’s brightest talents (James Colohan ) will step into the spotlight as he continues to thrive as an independent artist. Having built a strong foundation as one of Ireland’s leading session musicians, he is now carving his own path, with influences as diverse as John Mayer, The 1975, and Ed Sheeran.
A guitarist since the age of four, Colohan’s performances showcase lightning-fast guitar licks, evocative lyrics, and a genre-spanning style.
His debut single ‘Time to Go’ introduced audiences to his compelling mix of powerful vocals, TS808 drum beats, and intricate guitar work.
Colohan is supported by indie-pop duo The Hopeful Kind, led by Donegal native Cara Ward and Meath’s Ruth Teeling. Drawing inspiration from personal experiences of love, heartbreak, and the complexities of modern life, The Hopeful Kind recently released their single ‘Close to You’.
Afterwards at 11pm, the party continues in the Backstage venue as DJ Macca takes control of the decks with his blend of '80s and '90s hits and retro anthems.
Tickets for Colohan, supported by The Hopeful Kind, December 21, are €20 from www.monroes.ie
