Doctor Millar

Seán Millar AKA Doctor Millar is, as many know, something of a legend. “An Irish national treasure. The poet Laureate of Dublin’s dark side” – The Irish Times “Ireland’s Greatest Songwriter” – Hotpress Magazine “Irelands best lyricist” – The RTE Guide Sean Millar will do a spoken word show on Thursday 29th October 2026, in Little Whelans. Fans of Sean’s long form Facebook posts are in for a treat as he uses Halloween to backdrop ideas around transformation, transgression, power, music, spirituality, and death. Each of the five spoken word pieces will dovetail with a song illustrating and supporting the text, some by Sean and one or two (very) unexpected covers. “ I see this as a way to bring together my different worlds. It’s always been strange to me that my music fans are almost completely unaware of my theatre work and community work and vice versa. Writing, Music and Performance, politics and society, spirituality and art, these are the driving forces of my working life. I hope to see people from each of those worlds there, and I’ll do my best to make it entertaining too. Over the years I’ve been approached by many people who tell me how much they love my prose writing, but I don’t publish books, so this is for them as much as anything.” Seán is a musician, storyteller, writer and global award winning theatre composer for ‘Shame’ and the off-Broadway smash ‘Silver Stars’. A musician’s musician, and pretty much one of a kind. His shows are close-up and intimate by design. In 2026, he released his 6th solo studio album ‘I Am Vermin’ (as usual some friends stepped in to help) and, fair to say, he’s lost none of his relatable edge.
