Live gig by singer-songwriter Niall McNamee, with support from Ollie Stoneman, at The Horn on Victoria Street.
Niall McNamee plays The Horn on Thursday 5 November, with support from Ollie Stoneman. It's a mid-week one, and the music runs from 20:00 to 23:00.
McNamee is a London-based singer-songwriter who describes his work as a modern twist on his Irish heritage, mixing Celtic post-punk passion with a 21st-century alt-rock perspective. The songs pair narrative lyrics with larger choruses, and critics have compared him to Shane MacGowan, Dolores O'Riordan, Chris Martin and Alex Turner. He's supported The Wolfe Tones and Louis Dunford, and 2024 saw him play sold-out headline shows across London and the UK, including Bury, Bristol, Glasgow, Birmingham and Dublin. His first single, Clapham Wine, came out in February 2025, ahead of a debut album that's still on its way.
Opening for him is Ollie Stoneman, a singer and acoustic guitarist from Cambridge whose songwriting has been likened to ELO and Squeeze. Between the two, you've got a singer-songwriter with a post-punk edge and an acoustic act with a pop sensibility, so it's a bit of a contrast on one bill.
