Escape the hustle and bustle of Dublin City, and enjoy a great night out at the Cherrytree in Walkinstown, one of Dublin's fastest growing suburban music venues.
The Cherrytree opened as a venue in January 2007 and quickly established itself as one of the most important folk/trad/roots venues in town with a series of high quality concerts which have always been associated with the MusicLee name.
Concerts during its first year included the likes of: Andy Irvine, Declan O'Rourke, Pauline Scanlon, Moonshine, Johnny Moynihan, The Klezmatics, Stand, Luan Parle, Prison Love, Eoin Dillon, John Spillane, Charlie McGettigan, Cora and Breda Smith, Sarah McQuaid, Kevin Doherty, Peter Mulvey, Na Bac, Retro Souls, I Draw Slow, Jeff and Vida, Rod Clements, Eric Taylor, Zoe Conway and many, many more.
The Cherrytree certainly left no doubt as to its importance as a venue when it staged the Paul Brady and Andy Irvine Reunion concert in January 2008. What a way to mark its 1st birthday! And with more amazing gigs lined up for February, the Cherrytree is marking itself as THE suburban venue for the discerning music fan.
