Glór Nua – A night of New Music in London
Next Generation Music
Introducing Glór Nua: Next Generation Music – An evening of live music, celebrating new emerging artists from London & Ireland!
Hosted by singer/songwriter and Poet, Ruby K.
Glór Nua roughly translates as New Voices in Irish Gaelic.
We are providing a platform for a variety of new artists to perform and be discovered, alongside live performances from more established acts. Uniting talented contemporary musical artists from London and Ireland and immersing audiences in the sounds that keep the city and the emerald isle moving and grooving.
Glór Nua is for all music genres, cultures and backgrounds, celebrating diverse styles and personalities, featuring exciting emerging artists from Ireland and London.
We know that people and musical self expression comes in all shapes and sizes and can’t always be put in a box, so why would we? Instead, we are putting it on stage here at the ICC.
7:30pm
Tickets: £7.50 Standard / £5 student / £10 for groups of 4

S.P.A.M:
Based in the far reaching north westerly county of Donegal, Ireland. S.P.A.M. is the solo project of singer/ songwriter Sean Meaney. Taking influence indie acts such as Alice Phoebe Lou, Feng Suave and Oracle sisters, S.P.A.M. fuses romantic musical storytelling with the tranquil ambiguity of 7th chords laden progressions. While still in its infancy S.P.A.M. still makes room for the evolution of style and sound. So, whatever definitive course it’s music takes remains to be seen.
