On the Road Again
Following instant sellout tours and rave reviews, On the Road Again promises to be another fun evening of songs and stories as Tom Dunne of Something Happens, Fiachna Ó Braonáin of Hothouse Flowers and Alan Connor from the Late Late Show house band hit the road together!
United by a love of performance and songwriting, audiences can expect a thrilling blend of both familiar and rarely-heard material from both Dunne and Ó Braonáin’s rich back catalogues.
Despite having shared stages across the world over several decades, Dunne and Ó Braonáin had never actually performed together until they were invited to do so on RTÉ Radio 1’s Ray Darcy show where they performed a Christy Moore song, John O Dreams, and a Willie Nelson song, On The Road Again. Ray D’Arcy loved it, Fiachna Ó Braonáin and Tom Dunne had a ball... and were joking they should do more of it! Or perhaps… only half-joking.
Multi-instrumentalist Alan Connor was then drafted in to add some piano, guitar and percussion to the dynamic duo. Alan Connor has toured with Sharon Shannon for over ten years and regularly performs with Something Happens and Frances Black. He is also a member of RTÉ's The Late Late Show House Band since 2021.
