The following day, also in Kelly’s, Cork soul and funk group Brian Deady will play their debut Galway show while on Sunday night The Crane Bar will host a concert featuring singer-songwriters Stacey Nolan and Sophie Coyle, Tuam folk singer-songwriter Seamus Ruttledge, opera singer Michel Brandt, and sean-nós singer Orlaith Ní Mheachair.
