Night Moves Summer Series launches at Droichead Arts Centre with Peadar Connolly’s Songs of Longing

Droichead Arts Centre is delighted to launch the Night Moves Summer Series,
a new programme of intimate evening music events taking place across May,
June and July in Droichead’s café/bar and gallery spaces.

Following the success of the Night Moves Café events throughout the year, the
Summer Series continues the programme’s mission to create vibrant,
welcoming cultural experiences in Drogheda after dark.

The first event takes place on Friday 8 May at 9pm in the Droichead Gallery
Space, with singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Peadar Connolly
performing Songs of Longing.

Drawing on his background in ethnomusicology and global musical traditions,
Connolly presents an intimate live performance shaped by themes of
migration, love, place and memory. Bringing together folk, traditional and
contemporary songs from around the world, Songs of Longing explores the pull
of home, the ache of absence, and the places and people we carry with us.

Performing on voice, autoharp and global woodwinds, Peadar Connolly creates
a deeply human musical journey through departure, memory and connection.

Night Moves is an innovative night-time cultural programme led and produced
by Droichead Arts Centre, curated by singer-songwriter SJ McArdle, in
collaboration with Drogheda’s Night-Time Economy Adviser and supported by
the Drogheda Purple Flag group.
