This week at Stag’s Head Raw (Upstairs at the Stag’s head, Dame Court, Dublin) we have Hidden Highways, a project featuring two of the country’s most talented songwriters, Carol Anne McGowan and Tim V. Smyth.
Mining a rich vein of stripped down folk and raw boned country, the two started working together in late 2010 and have been crafting wonderful folk-tinged numbers ever since. As always doors are at 8pm and admission is a mere €8.
