The shows follow her appearances at Galway International Arts Festival, All Together Now and the Belfast Fleadh over the summer, where she road-tested songs from a new project built around her Irish heritage.
In April, Nash covered Sinéad O’Connor’s ‘Famine’, a song that sits at the exact point where her dual Irish and English identity gets complicated, and she talked it through in detail on the Nialler9 Podcast in May, alongside a fairly unvarnished account of what the music industry has been like for her lately.
Kate Nash plays Other Voices, Derry on Friday September 25th and Saturday September 26th, Coughlan’s, Cork on Sunday October 4th, Cleere’s, Kilkenny on Monday October 5th and The Ruby Sessions, Dublin on Tuesday October 6th. Tickets on sale Thursday August 27th at 10am from singularartists.ie and Ticketmaster.ie, plus fees.
