uk & ireland jan/feb 2025
the olllam, the critically acclaimed, genre-defying Irish-American supergroup, announces a 14-date UK and Ireland tour for early 2025. This tour again features Scotland’s whistle ace Ross Ainslie up front with Irish piper John McSherry, while bass supremo Joe Dart (Vulfpeck, Fearless Flyers), Detroit drummer Michael Shimmin and keyboard player Joe Hettinga all return, joining Limerick guitarist Seán O’Meara. The 2025 tour follows sell-out shows at Barrowlands during Celtic Connections and at London’s Jazz Cafe in 2024. It comes on the heels of the band’s recent collaboration with Grammy-winning electronic artist Zedd on his latest album Telos. The Glasgow concert is part of Celtic Connections Festival, and the Sheffield, Leeds, Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester dates are presented by Through The Noise.
