DUG

Comprised of California native Jonny Pickett and Scottish-born Lorkin O’Reilly, DUG have become one of the most sought-after local folk acts since settling in Ireland. They’ve sold-out shows across Dublin and drawn hefty crowds with their Grafton Street buskings, while single ‘Jubilee’ saw them make a Grammy nomination shortlist.

The must-see live act will also be hitting the road across Ireland in the coming months. Don’t miss out.
