Doors 7pm - Strictly 18+ - BYOB
Lōwli and Laura Ampersand bring their double-headline live show to the Duncairn, Belfast on 19th June 2026. This show is part of their 'Acoustic Piano Tour' of Ireland, a series of intimate concerts in unique spaces - all performed on acoustic pianos.
Lōwli
Lōwli is the solo-project of Roisin Lowry, a composer and musician hailing from Galway, Ireland. Her music, an enchanting blend of elegant piano arrangements, delicate strings and haunting vocals, has charmed and captivated audiences around the country. Described by the Irish Times as “neat spookiness with beautifully arranged melodies”, her work bears elements of neoclassical and dark folk. Her music has been influenced by artists such as Agnes Obel and Olafur Arnalds.
Lōwli has performed on stages at Other Voices, Ireland Music Week & Piano Day Dublin, to name a few. Her music has been played on RTE Radio 1, BBC Radio and more, as has been featured on The Irish Times, the RTE Radio 1 Recommends List and Hot Press Magazine. Lōwli's single 'Worlds Above Us' was selected to soundtrack Tourism Ireland's 2025 global tourism campaign 'Ireland Unrushed'.
Lōwli released her debut album, Window in the Woods, in October 2025 to critical acclaim and launched it with a sold-out headline show in Dublin Unitarian Church. Lōwli is preparing to tour the album in 2026, and has started work on her second album.
Lōwli will be joined by cellist Rob Campbell at the Duncairn on June 19th 2026.
Laura Ampersand
Laura Ryder is a piano-wielding songwriter and composer from Co. Mayo, who performs with a varying line up of talented collaborators under the name Laura Ampersand.

She has supported the likes of BC Camplight, Síomha and Last Apollo, and played festivals such as Other Voices, Body and Soul, Electric Picnic, and Knockanstockan. Laura Ampersand's first single, 24, was released in late 2025.
