Kris Drever

Kris Drever plays a rare Irish date at the Spirit Store on Sunday, 25 October 2026. Doors open at 7:30pm on Georges Quay in Dundalk, Co. Louth.

What to expect

Drever is a musician from the Orkney Islands known for his distinctive voice and guitar work, and for fronting the folk trio Lau, whose work has been recognised at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. He plays new material from his album Doing This For Love alongside traditional pieces and his own songs. Irish dates from Drever are rare, so this is a notable booking for anyone who follows folk music.

Getting there

The Spirit Store is on Georges Quay in Dundalk town centre, Co. Louth, A91 NR79, a converted quayside store on the spot where the Castletown River meets the harbour. The venue runs a food menu Wednesday to Saturday from 12pm to 8pm and Sunday from 12pm to 6:30pm.

While you’re in Dundalk

Dundalk is the county town of Louth, a working town of around 43,000 people built around St Patrick’s Cathedral and the old grid of Clanbrassil Street and the Long Walk. It’s also a border town: the M1 effectively runs out here, Newry is twelve kilometres up the road, and the Cooley Peninsula starts just five minutes on the other side of the bay. The Spirit Store itself is a multi-award-winning live venue whose stage has hosted acts including David Keenan, Beth Orton and Ash. See more of what’s on across the county on the Louth hub, or explore Dundalk itself.
