Known as Nollaig na mBan, Women’s Christmas or Little Christmas, come celebrate January 6th with us at Whelan’s.

We have curated what will be a wonderful evening of music, poetry, and fun featuring three very talented Irish artists that reflect this cherished tradition.

Vona Groarke is Ireland’s Professor of Poetry (2025-28). Tolü Makay is a singer-songwriter well known for her fusion of alternative pop and soul, creating empowering anthems of growth and self-discovery. Poet Jan Brieton’s signature combination of humour, wit, and poignancy both celebrates and uplifts women.

Together they will perform a dynamic mix of poetry and music at the iconic Whelan’s venue.

Readers are advised to check with the organiser before relying on the details published here.
