Today marks a big milestone in the return to normality.

James Vincent McMorrow will play to a 500-strong crowd at Dublin's Iveagh Gardens tonight - the first gig with a live audience in Ireland in 15 months.

James shared his excitement on The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show this morning and said that although he feels like he's representing an entire industry, he's feeling more confident than ever.

James also admitted that if he doesn't make it on the 2021 episode of Reeling in the Years he'll be writing a very angry letter!

The Iveagh Gardens gig kicks off at 7pm and will be live-streamed on the National Concert Hall's Youtube channel.
