LES SALAMANDAS + NAOISE ROO
Fri 7th Apr 2023
Whelan’s Main Venue
Singular Artists proudly present the highly anticipated return of Simple Kid live at Whelan’s, Dublin on Friday, 7th April 2023. Tickets €25.50 includes booking fee, on sale Monday, 19th December at 9am.
Once upon a time, back in 2003, a young hopeful by the name of Simple Kid emerged with his first solo album, Simple Kid 1: full of optimism and arrogance, he was sure of his place in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. He garnered some awards nominations, some high profile tours, some good times, some bad. Like many before and since, he was ‘the next big thing’ with a UK Top 40, appearances on ‘Later With Jools’, Glastonbury slots and prestigious touring.
In 2008, he followed this up with Simple Kid 2: not so many awards, not so much TV, lots of touring but running out of money, hair receding, girlfriend pregnant.
Then along came ‘life’. And life said that Simple Kid needed to change the chapter in his
book, to move on. So Simple Kid became Kieran and started to do things like: get a job, get tired, raise children, have financial struggles. Still some good times, some bad.
But secretly in 2018, Kieran bought a guitar, a microphone and some speakers and started
recording quietly in his loft. He didn’t tell anyone, not even his family.
He started uploading songs to YouTube and eventually released 13 of these songs as an album called ‘Simple Kid 3: Health & Safety’ in 2022.
Kieran has now changed his name back to Simple Kid and decided to come out to play once more in 2023. He imagines there will be some good times, some bad.
