About this event
Join us at Katie O'Brien's Irish Tavern Sheffield for an unforgettable evening with Mike Bladen, the high-energy acoustic performer who knows exactly how to get a crowd singing. With his guitar and kick drum in tow, Mike delivers brilliant renditions of crowd-pleasing hits spanning six decades — from 60s classics and Britpop legends to modern pop punk and everything in between. Whether you're after indie anthems, rock belters or feel-good country tunes, Mike's got the setlist to match the mood.
Based in Rochdale, Mike brings over a decade of professional experience to every performance, having toured the UK and supported major acts along the way. His relaxed, engaging style is perfect for a busy Saturday night at Katie O'Brien's, where the craic is mighty and the atmosphere electric. He reads the room brilliantly, keeping the energy high and creating those special moments when a whole pub sings as one.
Come down to Katie O'Brien's Irish Tavern on Mappin Street in Sheffield City Centre and experience live music the way it should be — intimate, energetic and packed with the songs you love. It's the ideal soundtrack to a great night out with friends, cold drinks in hand and Irish hospitality all around.
