The Tumbling Paddies

We have some exciting news for those who enjoy contemporary Irish music mixed with a bit of folk and indie pop: one of Ireland’s most popular music acts, The Tumbling Paddies, is scheduled to play in Brighton later this year. The band, which originated in County Fermanagh back in 2014, started out primarily as a cover band before finding massive success writing and recording their own material. They’ve since built a reputation for delivering an exuberant and high-energy live show, taking their sound internationally with tours in places like Dubai, Germany, and Spain. Now, they are bringing that energy to the South Coast.

If you’re unfamiliar with their work, The Tumbling Paddies are known for blending traditional Irish sounds with modern pop sensibilities, fitting neatly into the Pop, Indie, Folk, and Indie Pop genres. Their setlist typically features a mix of classic Irish hits alongside their own successful originals. They’ve had significant chart success, particularly with tracks like 'Pretty Girl' and 'Night On The Town', but their song 'The Way I Am' is perhaps their biggest hit, having topped the Irish charts for ten consecutive weeks. This blend of familiar tunes and fresh, catchy originals is what makes their live performance so appealing to a wide audience.

The concert is set for Saturday, October 17, 2026, at Chalk, located at 13 Pool Valley, Brighton, BN1 1NJ. The event is scheduled to run from 18:00 until 22:00, so it’s an early evening show. It’s important to note that this will be a standing-room-only event, and there is a minimum age restriction of 14+ for entry. If you are planning to go, tickets are available to book online, but as of now, the guide prices are still listed as TBC (To Be Confirmed). Keep an eye on the usual ticketing sites if you want to secure your spot for what promises to be a lively night of music.
