Celebrating more than five decades on the road, Rob Strong remains one of Ireland's great voices of blues and soul. From the golden era of the Irish showbands with The Polka Dots and The Plattermen, through The Rockets and The Commitments Band, Rob has built a legendary live reputation steeped in rhythm, blues, and raw soul.

Joining him as special guest is Niamh Strong, continuing a powerful family musical tradition in a show packed with blues classics, deep grooves, and timeless soul.

Niamh Strong is a talented blues and soul singer from Naas, County Kildare, and a proud member of the renowned Strong musical family. Daughter of Rob Strong and sister of Andrew Strong, music has always been at the heart of her life. Known for her rich, expressive voice, she has built a strong reputation as a captivating live performer on the Irish blues scene.

As a songwriter, Niamh has released original material including Lost Soul, Brighter Days, and Work Hard, and is set to release two new songs, Glass Ceiling and Broken, in early June. Currently gigging across Ireland, she continues to grow her presence as a passionate and authentic blues artist who truly loves what she does.

A powerful pairing of experience and fresh energy—this is Irish blues and soul delivered with heart, heritage, and authenticity.
