Controlled, Pristine and Mesmerising: just some of the words used to describe the talent and performances to date by One Two One Two: the music, film and theatre company founded by sisters Zoe Ní Riordáin and Maud Lee.
This one-night-only live gig, their first since 2019, launches their new album Éist Liom (listen to me), filled with bold and ambitious new Irish language songs. Produced by Simon Cullen (SHIPS), Maud and Zoe bring their electronic alt-pop sensibility to an Irish language riff on the story of Carmen from Bizet’s opera. Alongside this new work, they’ll play some favourites from their critically acclaimed theatre productions Everything I Do and Recovery along with some Maud in Cahoots hits.
They will be accompanied on the night by Glasshouse, a ten-piece orchestral ensemble from Dublin, who combine sound, space and visual design to create unforgettable music experiences. Recent projects include the development of a new commission by R.Kitt and collaborative projects with Irish artists Æ MAK, Caoi de Barra, Rachael Lavelle, and Gareth Quinn Redmond.
This promises to be a heartfelt and cathartic night, buoyed by the commanding and fearless style One Two One Two have become synonymous with.
A limited edition of the new album ‘Éist liom’ will be available for purchase on the night.

Controlled, Pristine and Mesmerising: níl ann ach cuid de na focail a úsáideadh chun cur síos a dhéanamh ar thallann agus léirithe One Two One Two: an compántas ceoil, scannán agus amharclainne a bhunaigh na deirfiúracha Zoe Ní Riordáin agus Maud Lee.
Seolann an gig beo aon oíche amháin seo, an chéad cheann acu ó 2019, a n-albam nua Éist Liom, líonta le hamhráin nuachumtha agus uaillmhianacha Gaeilge. Léirithe ag Simon Cullen (SHIPS), tugann Maud agus Zoe a n-íogaireacht alt-pop leictreonach chuig riff Gaeilge ar scéal Carmen ó cheoldráma Bizet. In éineacht leis an saothar nua seo, seinnfidh siad roinnt ceoil is fearr leo óna léiriúcháin amharclainne, Everything I Do agus Recovery a bhfuil cáil mhór orthu, in éineacht le roinnt amas Maud in Cahoots.
Beidh Glasshouse, ensemble ceolfhoirneach deich bpíosa as Baile Átha Cliath, ina dteannta ar an oíche, a chomhcheanglaíonn fuaim, spás agus dearadh amhairc chun eispéiris cheoil dodhearmadta a chruthú. I measc na dtionscadal a rinneadh le déanaí tá coimisiún nua a fhorbairt le R.Kitt agus tionscadail chomhoibríocha le healaíontóirí Éireannacha Æ MAK, Caoi de Barra, Rachael Lavelle, agus Gareth Quinn Redmond.
Is dócha gur oíche chroíúil chathartha a bheidh anseo, á buaileadh ag an stíl cheannasach agus gan eagla a bhfuil baint ag ONE TWO ONE TWO.
Beidh eagrán teoranta den albam nua ‘Éist liom’ ar fáil le ceannach ar an oíche.
90 nóiméad, gan aon briseadh.
