The Labourers + Seán O’Meara + Daft Punk Tribute

Formed in London in 2023 by Conor Bogue (banjo) and Michael Hickey (guitar), The Labourers made a name for themselves fast on the folk circuit before doing what the name demands and putting in the graft back home, relocating to Ireland. Their music lives where trad, folk and the ballad tradition meet — two players, no hiding places, and a growing reputation as one of the best-kept secrets on the Irish live scene. Catch them in a small room now in Castlebar.

Limerick guitarist, singer and composer Seán O’Meara won an All-Ireland Fleadh in 2012 and has barely been off the road since, performing in more than twenty countries across five continents. He is the guitarist with the ollam — the transatlantic supergroup named Best Group at the RTÉ Folk Awards — and has shared stages with everyone from Martin Hayes and Máirtín O’Connor to Cory Wong and Denise Chaila. His own songwriting blends folk warmth with pure pop instinct and his debut solo album marks him out as an artist entirely in his own right.

The French robots retired. AI has taken over! Helmets on and lights up for a full-throttle celebration of the Daft Punk catalogue — One More Time, Around the World, Harder Better Faster Stronger, Da Funk, Get Lucky — delivered as one continuous ascent from filter-house to festival euphoria. Two decades of the most influential dance music ever made, engineered for a Thursday night in Castlebar. Bring your dancing shoes; the robots would want it that way.
