The Chapel Sessions - Declan O'Rourke

Though I still have some weddings to post from the past couple of weeks, I'm skipping the queue with something different. Aoife McCormack (introducing the show below) & Phoebe Campbell are promoting a new series of gigs - The Chapel Sessions - in St George's Chapel, Carrick-On-Shannon, which kicked off on Saturday night with Declan O'Rourke. It's a beautiful, intimate venue, bedecked in candles for the evening, and holding around 150 people. Donnacha from Late Nite Radio was acting as Lighting Engineer on the night and created an eerie atmospheric effect with two blue spotlights on the floor at 45 degrees, casting giant shadows on the side walls of the church. Beautiful for the audience, tricky for photographers! The gig itself was excellent, Declan clearly enjoying the intimacy and the unique setting. Hopefully it'll be the first of many.
