After his stellar performance with John Cooper Clarke at Dublin's Olympia Theatre last May, Mike Garry is returning to Ireland to perform with a classical string quartet.

Mike and the Cassia String Quartet have played together for 10 years. 

In that time they've had a UK Number one single with St. Anthony - An Ode to Factory Records owner Tony Wilson and released their first studio album in 2024.

They have toured sparingly, playing only at very special events and working on commissioned pieces. 

They have worked with the likes of New Order, Philip Glass, The Charlatans, Daughter and Orbital to name just a few. 

Mike Joyce of The Smiths said, "No words by me or anyone can truly describe how unique they are to watch live".

"I love Mike's poetry. It's passion, powerful and precise but most of all, personal" -Philip Glass
