Gavin James at Cyprus Avenue

What to Expect

Gavin James, the Dublin singer-songwriter who built a large following through busking before breaking through with radio-friendly acoustic pop, plays Cyprus Avenue in Cork on Friday 30 October. James has become one of Ireland’s most consistently streamed and radio-played artists, and his live shows combine warm, crowd-pleasing acoustic songwriting with a full band arrangement that fills out the bigger singles. As an Irish artist with a large domestic fanbase, this date is likely to be one of the busier gigs on the Cyprus Avenue calendar that month, drawing a home crowd who know the songs well. The venue’s compact standing room gives an artist of this popularity a rare, close setting compared to the arena and outdoor stages he’s played at larger scale, making it a good pick for anyone who wants to see him in a genuinely intimate room.
