Southern Beauty & Marc Gallagher

Get ready for a night of high-energy and seriously impressive musicianship as two standout acts take to the Galway Uke Fest stage.

 Southern Beauty & Marc Gallagher

Marc Gallagher returns to Galway Uke Fest a high-energy, genre-blending set built on sharp musicianship and a clear love of performance. A multi-instrumentalist with a background in pop, folk and everything in between, he has made the ukulele his instrument of choice, using it to deliver both inventive covers and original material.

With over 850 songs in his repertoire, Marc moves easily from crowd favourites to unexpected arrangements, often adding his own twist to well-known tracks. His live shows are engaging and unpredictable, shaped by years of performing across festivals, venues and international stages.

Southern Beauty was founded by Alison Wheeler, Phil Southgate and Phillipa Leigh. This collective of accomplished musicians takes a fresh, imaginative approach to familiar material. Expect beautifully crafted interpretations of The Beautiful South’s catalogue, reworked through jazz, bossa nova and more experimental influences, alongside a selection of classic standards delivered with style and originality.

Together, this is a night that captures what Galway Uke Fest does best, showcasing the versatility of the ukulele and celebrating artists who push boundaries while keeping audiences fully engaged.
