Delighted to announce the debut of Lorraine Nash to Mike the Pies on Thursday 19th June 2025.  A night you sure definitely don’t want to miss.

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Lorraine Nash is set to return to her hometown with a special performance at Mike the Pies, Listowel on Thurs 19 June 2025. This intimate show follows a whirlwind UK tour, where she will open for the legendary Hothouse Flowers, and serves as a homecoming celebration before she takes to the stage in Glastonbury. Lorraine captivates audiences with her soulful voice and evocative songwriting, and is ready to bring it back to where it all began.
Speaking about the upcoming show, Lorraine says: “Playing Glastonbury is a dream come true. In this tough industry, the highs are wonderful, and lows can often be incredibly low. That’s why I find it so important to celebrate the wins. This gig is my way of doing just that—sharing the moment with the people in my locality who have supported me every step of the way.”

Lorraine makes her Glastonbury debut on the Acoustic Stage at Worthy Farm, on Sat 28th June, marking a huge milestone in her career. Fans at Mike the Pies will get a chance to witness her perform up close before she takes to one of the world’s biggest festivals. Joining Lorraine on the night will be Patrick stefan, whose connection to Listowel and unique folk-infused sound make him the perfect addition to the lineup. Having previously held a residency at St. John’s Theatre, Patrick’s music is steeped in the locality, promising a performance filled with heart and storytelling.
