Ian Whitty and Full band. Limited edition ’Not on your side’ tour release available on the night featuring two new songs from Ian’s forthcoming album and a live recording taken from Ian’s last show in the lobby before the venue closed down.

Since his arrival on the scene in 2004 with the self-released EP Will O' The Wisp, Ian Whitty has been heralded by many of his peers as one of the most exciting up-and-coming lyricists and performers on the Irish scene.

Since Ian's emergence, he has been invited to perform with many of the luminaries of the Irish scene including Declan O Rourke, Bell X1, Josh Ritter, Damien Rice, The Frames and Roderigo y Gabriella to name but a few.

Ian is a songwriter who firmly believes in craft and in always placing substance over style. He is most often praised for his distinctive vocal delivery and lyricism that manages to be urgent, humorous and razor sharp without ever sacrificing the sincere storytelling that underpins his songs.

Ian is currently putting the finishing touches to his new Album which has been recorded with his band and top Irish producer and erstwhile Autamata agitator Ken McHugh (David Kitt, Juno Falls).
