Queer Arrivals is a deeply personal, music-filled journey by Irish singer-songwriter Gráinne Hunt, exploring what it means to come into queerness – and into oneself – later in life.
With original songs and intimate storytelling, Gráinne shares her experience of falling in love with a woman in her 40s and how that has transformed her understanding of identity, artistry and belonging.
Incorporating Gráinne’s partner Jules Stewart on drums and vocals, Queer Arrivals is a tender, honest, and powerful celebration of love, growth, and self-acceptance debuting at the Liverpool Irish Festival.
Joining them is HUSK – a Gaeilge-English electrofolk musician, blending traditional Irish music, folk and electronica, with 80’s synths, weaving between English and Gaeilge alongside púca punk queer magick energy. HUSK offers contemporary electronic music production and works with international talent across the Irish diaspora and beyond.
This is a unique collaboration, presented in partnership with The Unity with support from Culture Ireland. For more info, read a fuller description, here.
Celebrate 100 years of comedy with a brand new production of Neil Brand’s Evening with Laurel & Hardy 2026 Centenary Tour.
In 1926 Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy signed separate contracts with Hollywood film mogul Hal Roach. They appeared together for the first time in a film titled ’45 Minutes from Hollywood’. The following year they would become an official comedy partnership that would set the whole world rocking with laughter. Nobody could have predicted that this unlikely Anglo/American comedy duo would become global icons in over 130 countries around the world.
Neil Brand has established himself as the foremost exponent of silent film and improvised piano accompaniment. In this new production he will uncover gems of hilarity from the duo whose comedy never ages, and bring them to jaw-dropping life with the demanding live piano improvisations for which he is so famous.
The show features new restorations of Laurel & Hardy’s silent films, some of their lesser-known comedies and extended scenes from the best of their silent comedies, particularly ‘You’re Darn Tootin’, ‘The Finishing Touch’ and ‘The Second Hundred Years’.
Neil’s concerts have become a hit with audiences, thanks to his personal connection with the crowd and his unique insights into Laurel & Hardy and the early days of the cinema industry. His engaging, easygoing style, combined with a lively Q&A session and a post-show ‘Meet & Greet’, makes for an evening that’s as informative as it is entertaining.
Currently working on a television documentary and a new book about ‘The Boys’, Neil is once again excited to share his knowledge and passion with audiences across the country, celebrating the remarkable legacy of comedy legends Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy.
