We are celebrating 20 years in the Róisín Dubh with one of our favourite bands, SODA BLONDE & special guests.

Following two successful introductory EPs (2019's “Terrible Hands” and 2020's “Isolation Content”), they released their debut album, “Small Talk”, in 2021. The LP was subsequently nominated for RTÉ’s Choice Music Prize for Album of the Year and received rave reviews from Paste Magazine, Atwood Magazine, and The Irish Times, who called it "a record so articulate and expressive that its title has to be a wry in-joke."

The band have grown tremendously in the two years since their debut, and it shows. Whereas “Small Talk” was an anxiety-fuelled coming-of-age record about navigating their twenties, “Dream Big” is a mature awakening to the world at large; one that dives deeper and hits harder than its predecessor.

“It definitely was a conscious titling, that relationship between Small Talk and Dream Big,” the band’s guitarist and producer Adam O’Regan explains. “Small Talk was trying to decipher whether everything meant something or nothing. With Dream Big, we’ve arrived at the point that it means something.”
