About this concert
Foot Squeaker and Drying Weather join forces to bring you the Ubh Bhriste Irish Tour 2024.
You Can’t Tour Ireland Without Breaking a Few Eggs
After sharing a bill at a show in Gorey in 2023, acoustic fuzz merchants Drying Weather and alt-rockers Foot Squeaker quickly forged a bond around their shared DIY ethos, fiery ambition and passion for original music. Making good on New Year’s resolutions to make his own luck, Diarmuid (lead vocalist/guitarist, Foot Squeaker) contacted Dónal (vocals/bass/guitar, Drying Weather) to join forces for an Irish Tour - a first for either group.
Built around the Friday 22 March release of blistering new singles from both acts (Foot Squeaker’s Friends Like These and Drying Weather’s LILO), the Ubh Bhriste Tour took just a few short weeks to take form. Taking in the entire East Coast of Ireland and then some, the tongue-in-cheek Easter series kicks off in Waterford on Friday 29 March, making stops in the lads’ hometowns of Wexford and Dublin, and concluding up North with Drogheda, Belfast and Derry.
Diarmuid of Foot Squeaker said,
“You can rehearse, write and record until you drop but getting out and playing live is what our band wants to do. We cannot wait to play these shows. To add to all the excitement, these shows coincide with our new single ‘Friends Like These’, which my wife says is without doubt our best song yet. Believe me, she tells it how it is!”
Dónal of Drying Weather said,
“We’ve been itching to take on a tour since everything got back to normal. LILO is probably our most immediate and infectious song to date, and we can’t wait to bring it to so many new places around the country. All credit to the small venues of Ireland - they’re the lifeblood of original music and DIY gig culture, this tour couldn't have happened without their help.”

Foot Squeaker Biography
Battling to revive a dormant music scene in their hometown of Gorey, alt-rock power trio, Foot Squeaker, have laid the first cornerstones of a new guitar band stronghold. Building hype from the ground up with a DIY mindset, the band are showing that you don’t have to be from the capital city to turn heads in the Irish Music Scene.
Accomplishing a wall of sound with only three bricks. When Foot Squeaker play live their twisted rhythms and triple vocal trickery are revelatory.
The band released three singles, ‘No Connection’, ‘Wayside’ and ‘Specimen’ over 2020, garnering radio play across Ireland and countries across the world including the UK, Canada and New Zealand.
2023 saw the band back to full focus with their new single ’Silhouette’, mixed by Daniel Fox (Gilla Band) and mastered by Darragh Nolan aka Astakalapa, released 01.09.23. The band have been shaking the walls of venues across Ireland including; Fibber Magees (Dublin), The Gorey Market House Festival, Toales (Dundalk) and Wexford's Crown Live.
Silhouette hit the airwaves on Amazing Radio UK and US (Shell Zenner & Frankie Francis), Top Of The Morning Show NZ, and countless radio shows across Ireland and abroad.
Their return single was playlisted by Spotify on Alternative Ireland and other top playlists.
'Friends Like These', again, mixed by Daniel Fox was released March 22nd to critical acclaim:
"This catchy-yet-contemplative track shows why they're becoming one of the most interesting and innovative indie bands out there. It's sure to get people talking about what friendship even means nowadays, and cement their status as indie rock trailblazers."
- Earmilk.com
"the rock group have perfectly executed their rock and roll track in their latest single."
- Hot Press Magazine
"As authentic and down to earth as the message feels, the track itself packs a hell of a punch stylistically, melding crunching riffs and driving rhythms."
- Clout Magazine
The band have just completed the co-headline Ubh Bhriste Tour with Dublin band Drying Weather which took in the whole east coast of Ireland right up and around to Derry.
They plan to record their debut album in early '25.
