More announcements keep rolling in for this Culture Night 2023, Friday, September 22.
This Culture Night, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh will present an hour-long live music and arts programme live from Dún Lúiche on September 22 at 7pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
Right in the heart of the Donegal Gaelteacht RTÉ Concert Orchestra and a host of guest performers from the worlds of post-punk, R&B and indie rock will present an incredible line-up of music.
Actress and singer Jessie Buckley has been added to the list of talented artists performing with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra on the night. Jessie will perform a special rendition of a Sinéad O’Connor song in tribute to the late artist.
Jessie expressed how honoured she feels to paying tribute to the Irish legend: "I am very honoured to return to Culture Night 2023 to remember Sinéad O Connor with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra. Sinéad was such a huge influence on so many women in Ireland and across the world, her courage, her mind, her politics and her intense beauty and soul. She was a warrior to humanity."
