About this event

Join us at Cup & Craic Irish Tavern for an evening of live acoustic music with Dave Cowan, a talented singer-songwriter and guitarist based in Blyth. Dave is a fully self-contained solo performer with an impressive range of original material and an extensive repertoire of covers. What sets him apart is his willingness to venture beyond the usual suspects, bringing fresh and unusual arrangements that will keep you entertained throughout the night.

Dave is known for his engaging, interactive performance style and genuine connection with audiences. Whether you're in the mood for pop, rock, country, or folk, his diverse musical palette has something for everyone. As someone who regularly hosts open mic and busking sessions, he understands how to read a room and deliver exactly what an audience needs.

Settle in with a drink and enjoy an authentic musical experience in the heart of Newcastle. Dave's self-contained PA setup means he's ready to deliver great sound in any space, and his passion for connecting with people makes every performance special.
