‘Dogs’

DOGS, the recent collaboration between NICK KELLY (The Fat Lady Sings, Alien Envoy) and SEÁN MILLAR (Dr Millar & The Cute Hoors) have announced a rare Berlin show at the Wein Salon, Schreinerstraße 59 to celebrate the recent release of their debut album JOY.
Recorded and Mixed by Anthony Gibney at Audioland Studios, and released by leading Scottish independent label Last Night From Glasgow, JOY’s ten tracks include Old Dog Young Dog, a shimmering elision of Laurel Canyon and Lahinch, the radio hit I Know What It Is To Be Young, and the
irresistible soul-folk stomp Heartbeat, all of which entered the Irish Radio Top 20. The album also includes the uplifting climate crisis fightback anthem Only Home which provides the finale to award-winning new feature film The Song Cycle.

Only Home is one of several DOGS tunes featured on the soundtrack of this much-praised documentary about Nick and Seán’s sustainable tour by bicycle and bus to perform at Glastonbury.

Given their punishing training schedule, this full-band Whelans show offers a not-to-be-missed opportunity to witness two of Ireland’s greatest songwriters before they pedal off into further worldwide glory.

The Song Cycle, which Nick both directed and produced, had its world premiere at Ireland’s most prestigious festival, the Galway Film Fleadh in July 2024, where it won Best Independent Film. More recently, it screened at September’s IFI Documentary Festival, where it won their Audience
Choice award for Best Irish Feature. In a perfect example of art imitating art, Dogs plan to travel sustainably to and perform live in conjunction with international screenings of The Song Cycle as it hits the global film festival circuit in 2025. Given their punishing training schedule, this full-band Whelans show offers a not-to-be-missed opportunity to witness two of Ireland’s greatest songwriters before they pedal off into further worldwide glory.
