plus guests
Whelan’s Main Venue • Thur 19th September 2024
A very welcome return to Whelan’s from Katell Keineg playing a rare Irish gig, the first in Dublin since 2010. Tom Jones released a version of her song “One Hell Of A life” in late 2021 and has been playing it at all his concerts since then. Her songs have also been covered by Natalie Merchant and Gabriel Rios. She recently finished recording her 5th album after writing for the theatre during the last few years.
Katell released her first vinyl-only single on the SOL label in 1993. After guesting on an Iggy Pop album, she made two acclaimed albums for the legendary Elektra label in New York. Her subsequent albums and E.Ps include High July on French label Megaphone Music in 2004 and At The Mermaid Parade on the UK’s Honest Jon’s Records in 2010. She collaborated with Dutch composer Marike Van Dijk and her 14-piece ensemble on a 2018 release called The Stereography Project.
Over the years, Katell has toured Europe and North America, playing her own, sold out gigs, as well as festivals including Glastonbury, Green Man, Reading, Roskilde, SXSW, and WOMAD. She played many concerts with Jeff Buckley, and has appeared at Carnegie Hall with Allen Ginsberg, Philip Glass and David Byrne, at the Royal Albert Hall with Natalie Merchant and at the National Stadium as part of Sinead O’Connor’s band, singing an acapella version of “Mama, You’ve Been On My Mind” with her.
Katell will be joined in Whelan’s by guests Ann Scott and Adrian Crowley.
