LET ME GET THIS OFF MY CHEST - A Night of Music, Drag, Circus and Burlesque

LET ME GET THIS OFF MY CHEST

A gender affirming care fundraiser for the wonderful Lydia Furey.

The Wild Duck, Temple Bar

Doors at 7pm 

Get ready for a vibrant evening full of heart, silliness and sexy serenades! With a lineup of artists from around the country, including incredible songwriters and drag deliciousness, to beguiling circus acts and bosses of burlesque - this is a night not to be missed. 

Our beloved Fuzzrat can't receive the vital care they so deserve in their own country, so we are raising these funds together as a community, to make sure they can get the care they deserve.

Lineup:

MC Justdobits

MC Justdobits is that MC that does a little bit of everything. Whether it’s flying around on wheels or scaling a wall you can bet your bottom dollar Justdobits does it all. Tonight we have them for their very first ever performance as MC. Where we hope they’ll bring some games, some fun and maybe more! Justdobits is most known for their acting. Previous roles including ‘a lesbian’ in  ‘How to get to Heaven from Belfast’ and ‘a model’ in Anne Hathaway’s ‘Mother Mary’ (blink and you’ll miss both). So just incase you missed them on screen , be sure to catch Justdobits live and in person in a very special once in a lifetime role as MC.

Segotia

A prolific songwriter and tea drinker since childhood, Segotia opens her heart, despite the discomfort found in vulnerability. Hand in hand, listening to these stories, we find catharsis in feeling it all - together, and in true princess fashion, this is Segotia’s specialty.  Fusing her traditional musical upbringing with her love of contemporary indie songwriting and delicate soundscapes, Dingle songwriter Segotia creates music that lures you in and evokes long forgotten emotions. You will find songs of love, songs of longing, shimmering textures and existentialist thoughts, delivered with her arresting and soothing voice.  Fans of Adrianne Lenker, Phoebe Bridgers and Mic Christopher will appreciate her craft. Her long anticipated debut album will be released later this year.

Jackie Beverly

Jackie Beverly is a Dublin-based singer-songwriter crafting atmospheric indie-folk infused with cinematic electronics and emotionally rich storytelling. With a voice that is both intimate and powerful, her music sits somewhere between the haunting soundscapes of London Grammar and the raw lyrical honesty of Phoebe Bridgers. Drawing from a background in Ireland's vibrant folk and indie scene, Beverly creates songs that explore vulnerability, connection and self-discovery.

...and more TBA!
