Following on from his headline slot at last week’s Hard Working Class Heroes festival, Irish singer-songwriter Fionn Regan is strapping his guitar on for a pared-down solo show in Whelan’s on December 19. Expect live favourites from his Choice and Mercury-nominated debut album The End of History, as well as tracks from his upcoming LP The Shadow of an Empire, due out early next year. Tickets are €21 and go on sale tomorrow, Friday October 23.

The Wicklow man is in the middle of a whistlestop tour of the country this week, and hits O’Keefe’s in Clonmel tomorrow, October 23 and Cork’s Pavillion the night after.
