About this concert
MATT McGINN with special guest Laura Jo
Hilltown singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer from Co. Down, Matt McGinn crafts songs that are a personal representation of his life experience. A former coal man, he found himself somewhat out of his water studying music at Queen's University in Belfast.
His third album 'Lessons of War' propelled him to prominence with his song Bubblegum that echoed the Troubles in which he grew up, while his 2020 duet with Aoife Scott ‘Time Well Spent’ became one of the biggest folk songs of the year. He has since released several successful singles and albums, earning praise from critics and fellow musicians alike. His long list of fans include Mary Black and Christy Moore and his upcoming work features songs co-written by Paul Brady, Foy Vance to name a few.
Laura Jo is an All-Ireland winning multi-instrumentalist who has now mastered the art of songwriting. Her talent and infectious personality is matched only by her voice.
