Singer Song Writer Gig 13/02/26

The Ennis Eccentric Music Society 
is
very proud to present
Singer Song Writer Gig

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!

Taking The Stage
Jaymz Sheppard
is singer-songwriter from Ennistymon, crafting original songs with deep, contemplative lyrics.
His music gently explores the edges of life experience — touching on grief, memory, and meaning — blending raw emotion with reflective themes.

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.

This is a free event. Donations are very welcome!
