The Lost Brothers

Saturday, 5 November 2022, 8.00pm

“What I love about The Lost Brothers is how their songs often seem quite placid on the surface. Then one realizes just how depth-charged they truly are.” - Paul Muldoon

Regarded as one of the finest musical duos to come out of these shores, Oisin Leech and Mark McCausland, from Meath and Tyrone, have been making music together since 2007.

Their sound is inspired by a range of influences that include the writings of Patrick Kavanagh, the music of Billie Holiday, and the paintings of Jack B Yeats. The Guardian described their most recent album, ‘After The Fire After The Rain’, as ‘sublime’ while The Irish Times stated that the album was ‘deeply soulful’ including it in their albums of the year.

BBC 6 Music celebrated the album with luminaries like Iggy Pop and Steve Lamacq playing the songs on the airwaves and awarding it ‘Album Of The Day’ upon its release. The album was also shortlisted for the Northern Ireland Music Prize and and ‘Album Of The Week’ at RTE Radio 1. In 2021 the band headlined Union Chapel London and sold-out the Vicar St. in Dublin as part of the ongoing tour.

Over the years the band have toured and shared stages with the likes of Richard Hawley, Billy Bragg, Martha Wainwright and M Ward. They’ve performed internationally from Glastonbury to South By Southwest.

With Special Guest Peter Doran.
