Has your child misplaced their doll?

We know that being separated from a treasured toy can be upsetting, so we’d love to reunite this little one with its owner. We found it outside and have it safely waiting at reception.

If it belongs to your child, please stop by reception to collect it.

With four consecutive No. 1 albums and sold-out tours spanning Ireland, the UK, Europe, North America, and Australia, The Coronas have firmly established themselves as one of Ireland’s most successful musical exports. This autumn, however, fans have a rare opportunity to experience the band in an entirely new light. Moving away from the massive festival stages and arenas they typically headline, they have announced a series of intimate, seated shows in some of the country’s most beautiful venues—including Derry's historic Guildhall.

For this special performance, Danny O’Reilly, Graham Knox, and Conor Egan will bring fans closer than ever before. The unique setlist will feature a blend of:

Brand-new material ahead of their upcoming album campaign
Deep cuts and rarely played songs from their twenty-year journey
Fan favourites and massive hits that defined their career

While The Coronas continue to sell out major venues worldwide, this intimate gig at the Guildhall offers a rare, up-close experience to hear the stories behind the songs and celebrate more than two decades of remarkable music.

An intimate evening of music, memories, and milestones.

Celebrated cellists Julian Lloyd Webber and Jiaxin return to Ireland for a unique, insightful evening celebrating Julian’s new autobiography, Bows and Arrows.

A Legendary Career: A look back at Julian’s remarkable life, from busking on the London Underground to playing the 2012 Olympics, spanning 60+ albums and a Brit Award-winning Elgar concerto.

Live Performances & Archives: Enjoy live music from Jiaxin alongside rare video footage and personal reflections.

Audience Q&A: A once-in-a-lifetime chance to question the duo about working with greats like Elton John, Philip Glass, and Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Andrew Strong, the unmistakable soul‑and‑rock voice of The Commitments brings his powerhouse vocals to The Guildhall for one night only, delivering the same grit, fire and energy that made him a global name.

At just 16, he became Deco Cuffe in Alan Parker’s cult classic, helping drive a soundtrack that sold over 12 million copies and earned BAFTA, Grammy and Brit Award nominations. Since then, he’s carved out an international career built on raw soul, blues and rock’n’roll at the highest level.

On stage, he’s a force. Backed by a world‑class band, he tears into favourites like Mustang Sally, In the Midnight Hour, Chain of Fools and Try a Little Tenderness, all delivered with his unmistakable signature. The shows are high‑energy, emotional and rooted in connection, groove and serious vocal power.

He’s shared stages with The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Prince, Lenny Kravitz, David Gilmour, ZZ Top and Bryan Adams, If you want a night of authentic soul, rock and pure vocal fire, this is it.
