Don’t miss our DJ nights in the banner capital!!
Will you discover The 3rd Room?
An evening of original live music comes to Lucas Bar,
bringing together 2 singer-songwriters and one band for a night of shared songs, stories, and connection.
Set in the intimate back bar of Lucas pub, this gathering celebrates local voices and community creativity — a place where artists and listeners meet, from stripped-back solo performances to a full-band close.
Each act brings their own sound, mood, and story, contributing to a night built on collaboration and support.
Bring your partner or find one on the night lol!
Toni (Tony) Benn
is an Irish singer-songwriter based in Miltown Malbay, County Clare known for his acoustic and folk-influenced sound. His music has been described as sincere and emotive, with a stripped-down style that draws comparisons to artists like John Martyn, Cass McCombs and even Bruce Springsteen. Benn’s early musical journey included playing in folk-rock and grunge bands along the west coast of Ireland, followed by formal study at Dublin’s Ballyfermot School of Music and years busking in Temple Bar in Dublin.
Floriáne Blancke & Quentin Cooper
Their music is a sound made from harp, guitars, piano and singing that experiments with French and Peruvian roots. It also incorporates aspects of blues, rock, and jazz to influence their original songs and instrumental pieces.
Brian Fleming is a traditional percussionist from Dublin, living the wild Atlantic Dream in Co Clare since 2004. He has played on over 50 albums in over 30 countries. He plays a wide range of percussion, specializing in bodhran and West African djembe. He is excited to lose his Ennis Eccentric Music Society virginity in 2026.
Neil Fitzgibbon is known by everyone in Co. Clare in both traditional circles and the alternative music scene. Master fiddle and guitar player from Athlone who has played with many famous acts he would like to keep anonymous, he is renowned for just getting stuck in anywhere where there is great music to be made, in and out of the country.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
Forged deep in Ireland’s underground, ERIC MOORE operates far from the surface — raw, uncompromising, and built for the late hours.
Known for relentless vinyl-only sessions and a no-frills approach, he remains a vital force in a scene that survives by staying defiant.
With releases on Red Section, Hypnotic Frames, and his own Arcane imprint — soon to resurface — Moore’s sound is physical and unpredictable.
Expect tribal pressure, Detroit machine funk, Chicago grit, electro pulses, ghetto-tech heat, and moments that cut without warning.
SOULJACKER completes the signal —Expect the unusual. He mixes funk-rock house twisted for dark rooms and low ceilings mixed with live percussion .
No gloss. No hype. No filters.
Just drive!
These 2 DJs sets complement each other very well!
