We’re excited to be welcoming Martin Kohlstedt back – this time, to St Michael’s.

At just 24, Jamie Duffy has emerged as one of Ireland’s most compelling new artists, blending folk, classical, and contemporary influences into a sound that’s both intimate and cinematic. His debut single Solas became the most streamed debut by an Irish artist since Hozier’s Take Me To Church, with over 125 million streams on Spotify, 25 million YouTube views, and 6.6 billion views on TikTok.

In 2024, the folk-classical composer released his debut EP On A Wing, sold out his first Irish headline tour (2,600+ tickets), and supported Andrea Bocelli and Hans Zimmer at BST Hyde Park. Now, with over 1.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, he’s gearing up for his biggest chapter yet.

This is a 14+ show. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
