Fireside Sessions Bring Ben Reel & Julian Leavy to Toales – December 11th
The Fireside Sessions keep their momentum rolling at Toales on Thursday, December 11th, delivering another night centred on original songwriting, close-up performances, and that warm, no-nonsense atmosphere the series has become known for. As always, admission is completely free, making it one of Dundalk’s most accessible and reliably rewarding weekly stops for new music.
This week features Ben Reel, a seasoned artist whose songwriting spans folk, soul, Americana, and a lifetime’s worth of lived experience. His songs have a way of landing with clarity and weight — the kind of writing that feels both generous and sharply observed. Seeing him in an intimate room like the Fireside Sessions is a rare chance to catch his work stripped back and up close.
Joining him is Julian Leavy, a performer who brings a modern, honest tone to acoustic music. His style leans into melody, warmth, and the kind of subtle storytelling that fits the Fireside setting perfectly. It’s a pairing that promises contrast, character, and plenty of original material.
With recent editions showcasing everything from emerging writers to long-time local voices, the Fireside Sessions continue to carve out a vital platform for Dundalk’s creative community — no covers, no fuss, just fresh songs in a room built for listening.
The music starts at 9pm. Free admission, open ears, and new songs waiting to be heard.
