Murphy will bring his guitar to the Preference Brasserie, Portstewart, before playing his music in Northern Ireland at Crusoe's in Castlerock on October 31st, alongside Michael Hassan and Dave Gibb, who will be performing hits from his most recent album, Avalon.

A different kind of music in Northern Ireland will be echoing around Belfast on November 21st, when UB40 take to the stage at the Odyssey Arena and play hits such as Red Red Wine.
