Kevin Quigley & The Great Ideas
Galway City, Co. Galway
18 April 2026
Kevin Quigley & The Great Ideas are set to headline live @ Monroes! Americana-Folk outfit from Cork that bridges the gap between traditional heartfelt storytelling & the raw grit of roots rock. Think the stomping energy of CCR with a runaway fiddle.

“If Americana could be made Irish, Quigley has cracked the code,” - Hot Press.

Kevin Quigley & The Great Ideas deliver a captivating fusion of Irish folk sensibilities and modern rock. Their music balances the poetic soul of Bob Dylan and John Prine with the grit of Wilco and The Frames, they’ve struck a balance where Americana soul meets heartfelt storytelling - a sound uniquely their own.

Renowned for an infectious stage presence and magnetic chemistry, the group transitions seamlessly between Quigley's intimate, acoustic solo performances and the high-energy, country-rock spirit of the full band.

“Praised for his authenticity and compared to the likes of Dylan, Prine and Hansard” - Ignite Magazine
