Singer-songwriters Patrick Silke, Willie Headon and Pete Kavanagh gather for a Songwriters In The Round gig at The Moat Theatre on Saturday 2nd August at 8pm.

Known as "In the Round", these gigs bring together three songwriters who take turns performing their own songs (maybe a cover or two) while sharing the personal stories and inspiration behind them.

You’ll hear the funny, heartfelt and sometimes unexpected tales that shaped their music.

These three singer-songwriters are all founding members of The Muddy River Band, who are currently touring nationwide performing the songs of Neil Young, Bob Dylan and Van Morrison.

This is a rare and unique opportunity to catch them together performing a set of their own compositions.

Meet the Songwriters
PATRICK SILKE
Patrick Silke is a gifted singer-songwriter whose music draws from blues, gospel, country, rock and Americana. With three critically acclaimed solo albums to his name, Pat’s songs reflect a lifelong passion for honest storytelling, rich melodies and emotional depth. His live performances are notable for a heartfelt connection with the audience, showcasing a deep respect for the craft of songwriting.

WILLIE HEADON
Willie Headon’s musical journey has taken him from performing with the traditional band Dúchas to releasing a number one single, which also featured international singer/composer Enya, and later becoming a respected recording engineer and producer. After two decades behind the scenes working with top Irish and international artists, he returned to the stage in 2022, reigniting his passion for live performance.

Now active as both a solo artist and member of the Muddy River Band, Willie continues to write and perform original acoustic songs, known for their gentle tone, emotional depth and nostalgic charm.

PETE KAVANAGH
Pete Kavanagh is a singer-songwriter from Naas, Co. Kildare, known for his emotive blend of Americana-infused folk and poetic lyricism.

His 2021 debut album Join Up the Dots received critical acclaim, and the album’s standout track, To Hold the Red Rose, reached the semi-finals of the International Songwriting Competition.

His poignant ballad Darkness Before Dawn, inspired by a tragic event in Newbridge, was recorded by Christy Moore and features on Christy’s latest album A Terrible Beauty.

Pete is showcasing a set of new songs that will feature on his forthcoming album. On stage, he delivers heartfelt performances that create a deep connection with audiences.
