Lemoncello at Roisin Dubh

What to Expect

Lemoncello close out Roisin Dubh’s September run with a set built on a sound the band themselves describe as reflecting the tones of modern Ireland, and the show comes ahead of new material the band have signalled will explore more intricate arrangements than their earlier releases. That kind of framing, an act pushing toward a more layered, ambitious sound on record, often means a live set that is still finding its final shape, which can make a small room show like this one a genuinely useful preview of where a band is headed before a bigger release lands. Expect original material delivered with a full band arrangement, a set that leans into contemporary Irish guitar music rather than any single older reference point, and the kind of late month, mid week slot Roisin Dubh regularly hands to acts it is backing on the way up. It closes out a busy month of September bookings at the venue that has run from tribute nights to touring international acts.
