The Dying Seconds
A bunch of us fell for The Dying Seconds at a packed late
night show at Whelan's in Dublin in December. It felt like the
ferocious coming out of a great new band. I was delighted to see them
go on and make such a stunningly beautiful and ambitious debut album."
(Aaron Dessner, The National)
" While the band are ambitious in the scope and scale of their
sound – a sweep that has room for both creeping arthouse ruminations
and gorgeous chamber-pop wig-outs – all of this sonic stargazing is
built on sturdy foundations, with the bones of the song robust enough
to take any amount of stylistic scaffolding. As if that isn’t enough,
the honest and heartfelt power to the songs should further entice you
to join their crusade. " (Jim Carroll, The Irish Times)
TIME: 8pm

The extent of Frances’ popularity and talent has been reflected in the

performances. She has twice been the recipient of one of the highest
