Celebrating Derry Halloweens 40th Anniversary
Huey Morgan Fun Lovin' Criminal & Full Band
Sun 1st Nov
Guildhall, Derry
Doors 6.45pm / Starts 7.30pm
Special Guest Hypnic Jerk
Thirty years after founding Fun Lovin' Criminals and helping create the soundtrack to a generation, Huey Morgan returns to the road with a brand-new band for a major UK tour this October.
Marking three decades since the release of the iconic debut album Come Find Yourself, fans can expect a night packed with attitude, swagger, stories, and the unmistakable sound that made tracks like Scooby Snacks, King of New York and Fun Lovin' Criminal modern classics.
With a fresh new lineup and the same streetwise charisma, this tour promises nostalgia with a live-wire twist. Whether you were there the first time around or you're discovering the groove for the first time, this is one of those gigs that deserves a ticket in hand and a date in the diary.
Hypnic Jerk is the one-man, multi-instrumentalist sonic powerhouse of Derry/Donegal's Philip Wallace. His live show is a riotous, high-voltage tour de force, pulling from a vast arsenal of instruments including guitars, blues harp, and raw, unrelenting vocals.
Debut album On The Edge announced a fiercely original voice, while follow-up releases have pushed that sound even further, blending garage rock grit with sharp songwriting and explosive energy. Recent singles Spit It Out, Hypnic Jerk, Emotional Hijack, and Fentanyl showcase a project evolving at full tilt.
On stage, Hypnic Jerk delivers a singular, propulsive masterclass in fuzzed-out rock, earning a reputation as one of the most electrifying live acts in Ireland. Signed to Belfast's Black Tragick Records, he's built serious momentum with standout performances at Electric Picnic, Stendhal Festival, and venues across the country.
Please note that this event offers a combination of seated and standing tickets. If you require a seat, please ensure you purchase the correct ticket type in advance, as this cannot be changed on the evening of the event. Seated tickets are unreserved and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
This is an over-18s event, and a fully licensed bar will be available on site.
