Denise Chaila announces Dublin show at The Sugar Club
The Limerick musician performed several shows across Ireland in September.
Denise Chaila has announced a show at The Sugar Club, Dublin on December 8.
She recently concluded her An Seo Irish tour, which included shows at Connolly's Of Leap and Cyprus Avenue in Cork, Roisín Dubh in Galway, The Commercial in Limerick and The Set Theatre in Kilkenny. The concert draws inspiration from jazz, Irish traditional music, samba, and her Zambian roots.

The musician last performed in Dublin at the Hot Press 'History In The Making' concert at the 3Arena in February. The show featured a wide range of speakers and musicians and celebrated the 50th anniversary of the magazine. She also made an appearance at the Hot Press Chat Room during Electric Picnic.
Chaila shared an insight into her creative process prior to the tour.
"An Seo as a tour, is a small glimpse into the subterranean work I’ve been doing in my quiet corner of the west coast of our isle. A reintroduction. An invitation to meet me with some of the people I’ve encountered on my way who have left their fingerprints on me permanently.
"These shows, and the music that comprise them both old and new, live somewhere closer to my heart than I’ve allowed myself to share in my work thus far. Which is interesting.
"Here I am, in all of the wildness and dreaming. And I hope to meet you in a room of harmonies and space with the stories and songs I’m carrying in my beat up 7-year-old duffel bag."
The singer released her debut album Go Bravely in 2020. She has collaborated with artists such as Ed Sheeran, Clannad, Sorcha Richardson, and Jafaris. Her 2021 release, It's a Mixtape features the song '061', named after the area code for Limerick phone numbers.
