Following the release of their critically-acclaimed sophomore album Where I Should End (reviewed here), Saint Sister – the Dublin-based duo of songwriter Morgana MacIntyre and harpist/arranger Gemma Doherty – will play the album in its entirety fully live, twice, from Dublin on 8th July.
The band will perform two sets from The Complex Gallery & Studios for fans around the world; once at 8pm BST and again at 12:00 am BST (to better suit those in N. America).
Produced in partnership with Tiny Ark, these special album livestreams will give fans the chance to experience the new tracks live for the first time. They will be joined on the night by their full band, the string quartet of Crash Ensemble who recorded on the album, and Lisa Hannigan who featured on their stunning 2020 single “The Place That I Work”.
“We can’t tell you how much we’ve missed playing with a live band. We’ll be joined by the full force of the musicians who are on the record and more. We are desperately craving the connection that a live show brings and have loved chatting with Tiny Ark about how to bring as much of that special energy to the night as possible. If we can’t sing to you face to face we’ll do the next best thing, play the new record top to bottom, completely live.” Saint Sister
