Dublin based poet and singer-songwriter Christian Wethered is back for an intimate gig at Arthur’s Jazz and Blues Bar, and a double slot with Paul Sherry. After his mainstage performance at Beyond the Pale Festival, he will be bringing the autumnal vibes with his highly anticipated single ‘Wait’. The gig will also showcase his quiet sound in a more acoustic venue, featuring his partner Sachita Suryanarayan on backing vocals, and Evin O’Brien on electric guitar

This comes only a few days after the video for his single ‘La Madeleine’ was made an ‘Official Selection’ for the Dublin International Short Film and Music Festival. As well as being an acclaimed musician, his debut poetry book, 'Harbour' also won the 2021 Melita Hume Prize. Blending his two passions, Christian’s spoken, poetic sound is something that stands him out from the crowd, offering Leonard Cohen-parlando sounds alongside sharp imagery and spare melodies.

Having already picked up widespread acclaim from the release of his album Mon Petit Jardin, alongside radio play on RTE1, RTE Culture and Today FM, Christian Wethered has built a reputation for himself and boasts an ever growing fanbase, with performances all over Ireland including The Ruby Sessions, First Fortnight, Beyond the Pale and Electric Picnic
