Rachel Sermanni / Lily Lyons – live gallery & review from Cleere’s Bar & Theatre Kilkenny 08.05.2025

Scottish folk musician Rachel Sermanni has been touring Ireland this past week and made a stop off at Cleere’s Bar & Theatre in Kilkenny while doing so.
This was exactly the kind of show that the soul needed after the long bank holiday weekend that has just past as Rachel played a beautiful acoustic set that kept those in attendance silent to the point of you could have heard a pin drop.

Also on this tour and opening the shows every night is Lily Lyons and again who is playing an acoustic set that would take your breath away.
At one point she was even joined on stage by Racheal to duet on Lily’s single ‘The Orange’.

The night was ended with another duet as this time Lily joined Racheal for a rendition of a Bob Dylan song.
