  • The Abbey Tavern (Howth Roots & Blues Festival), Dublin (Dublin)

No blues festival would be complete without a legend and Rob Strong definitely ticks that box. Rob Strong brings his band back to The Abbey Tavern Howth after a sensational reaction again last year.

Celebrating more than 60 years on the road and revered as one of Ireland's greatest ever voices, Rob Strong and his superb band bring powerful vocals, electrifying stage presence, and timeless hits you'll sing along to all the way through. The Derry native, aka 'The Godfather of Soul in Ireland' includes Soul classics such as ' Ain't no Sunshine', 'The Thrill is Gone' , 'Sweet Home Alabama' and the most popular tunes from The Commitments movie 'Mustang Sally', 'Treat her Right' and more. Expect classics, crowd favourites, and soulful grooves from decades of performing - this is LIVE music at its best!  

Doors 1.30pm. On stage 2pm.
