A GALWEGIAN and a Galician, singer-songwriters Kevin Herm Connolly and Susana Garrido Pombo will play two shows in County Galway this weekend, playing both original songs and "some covers with a twist".

And next week their name comes to Galway city with shows at the Roisin Dubh (August 14) and Sally Long’s (August 15).
