Droichead Arts Centre presents SOLO: Home from Home
SOLO, curated by SJ McArdle, is an intimate concert series which Droichead has produced in various guises, and has seen performances from Maria Doyle Kennedy, Niamh Regan, Ollie Cole, Niamh Parsons and many more. Over the past two years, the series has moved online, but now we are delighted to bring it back in front of a live audience. “SOLO: Home from Home” will take place over four Saturdays in September in the theatre at Droichead. Each week’s show will feature two artists, making a total of eight engaging performances from some of the most innovative artists in Ireland today.
Aoife Scott is an Award Winning folk singer and songwriter based in Dublin, Ireland. Born into the legendary Black Family, Aoife is steadily rising to the top of the traditional and folk music scene and has long enjoyed success as an established artist in her own right. Fragile and ethereal one minute and strong and vibrant the next, her dynamic and profound vocals explore the emotional depths of her lyrics, leaving the audience entranced.
Dagogo Hart is a Dublin based poet, writer, playwright, performer and spoken word artist, returning to the SOLO Series after performing for the video podcast in 2021. Originally from Lagos, Nigeria, Dagogo started working with words at the age of 13. Since then he has performed for festivals like Mother tongues, St. Patricks, Dublin Fringe, Drogheda literary festival, Spirit of Folk, Body and Soul, Loud Poets Scotland and First fortnight.
