Connolly’s of Leap proudly presents CHARLIE CUNNINGHAM SAT 14TH MARCH 2026 Tickets €25 + bf We are very excited to welcome Charlie to West Cork to play under the hammers here at Connollys on his solo Irish tour. Charlie Cunningham has quietly become one of the UK’s most compelling and under-the-radar songwriters. Splitting his time between piano and nylon-string guitar, his melancholic yet rhythmically driven songs have seen him grace many of Europe’s most prestigious concert halls. Despite struggling with dyslexia and finding it nearly impossible to read music, Charlie earned a music degree and spent his mid-20s juggling odd jobs while writing songs in his spare time. A formative move to Seville — intended as a three-month stay but stretching into three years — immersed him deeply in Flamenco, refining his guitar style and shaping the distinctive sound he’s known for today. Back in the UK, he began playing bars around London and Oxford before returning to songwriting in earnest. Since then, he has released three albums and four EPs, amassing over half a billion streams worldwide. His latest album, In Light, offers a luminous blend of gently pulsing organic production, soaring melodies, and Cunningham’s signature intricate guitar work. The understated yet dynamic arrangements respond instinctively to his voice, weaving in unexpected key changes, bursts of distortion, and atmospheric flourishes. The record features contributions from guitarist Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno), drummer Liam Hutton, and was produced and mixed by Luke Smith (Keaton Henson, Foals, Everything Everything), with striking visual design by Gary Barber. – R.O.A.R. – Always Over 18’s – All sales are final – Unreserved Limited Seating –
