A Modern Movement: Harry Fennell A Modern Movement

A Modern Movement (AMM) is a brand new alternative club night happening every three months in Galway.

This September, The Mick Lally Theatre will play host to a very special AMM showcase with fast-rising Dublin singer-songwriter troubadour Harry Fennell, who will be playing a full band show in a cabaret style atmosphere.

Harry Fennell, praised as one of our capital city's most captivating singer-songwriters, has roots in the rural blues, old-time folk, and early jazz styles of Americana music. Fennell dares his audiences not to sing, dance or weep to his Cohen inspired ballads and Shakey Graves inspired sounds. Raised on a strict diet of Bob Dylan, Fennell takes the mundane and shines a light on all parts beautiful and violent, raising our appreciation for the good and bad in life. Drawing from experiences of his own and observing the world around him, he speaks candidly on the reality of being a young person in Ireland today and the hardships of love and loss. Building upon the release of his three singles and performances around the country, including two sold-out shows in The Dot theatre, and a sold-out show in Whelans, while also garnering interest from Hotpress, Void Magazine and Nialler 9 for his singles 'Next In Line' and 'Excuse The Barking', Harry is quickly growing his reputation as one of the Irish music scene's top performers and songwriters.
