Tengu presents: Shampain All Night Long + Olan Monk (LIVE)

Lineup Shampain Olan Monk (LIVE) Tengu celebrates St. Patrick's Day with Galway icon and DJ provocateur Shampain spinning for four hours, while Moin collaborator Olan Monk opens with a special live set. This year for St.Patrick's day we link in with Galway legend Shampain for an extended 4hr set PLUS a very special live set from Olan Monk at early doors. To find a touring DJ with no tracks to their name and a career relying solely on their ability manning the booth is a rare task these days. Shampain is one of those DJs. Through his extremely colourful music collection and razor sharp mixing ability, not to mention his distinctive persona, the Irishman has dug a deep chasm for himself in what often-times feels like a crowded dance music community to much success. A proud native of Galway in the west of Ireland, he founded both VSN and G TOWN Records and is currently heading up the DIY operations at FREAK Magazine; an exciting art & music start up that is showcasing the weird and wonderful of the audio and visual worlds. All while doing that he has held down a now-long and respected tenure as a resident on Rinse France, hosted a documentary series on Irish-language TV channel TG4, re-scored classic silent movies and of course toured the globe playing clubs and festivals. This dynamic approach has led to more established recognition from Irish cultural institutions such as An Taibhdhearc (The National Irish Language Theatre), The Bram Stoker Festival and the storied Galway Arts Festival, not to mention legendary dance music institutions far and wide like Fabric, OXI Rex Club, AVA, FLY Open Air, Electric Galway, Macadam, among others in the past 12 months. He aims to spread Celtic sound worldwide via the medium of electronic music and give a new meaning to the moniker ‘Lord of the Dance’. Olan Monk is a musician, performer and writer from Conamara, Ireland. They are a co-founder of C.A.N.V.A.S. alongside Lugh O’Neill, as an events series and record label established in 2018 to give collective agency to an increasingly dispersed community of artists. Their practice involves experimental and popular songwriting, combining vocals, guitars and electronics with elements of Irish traditional instrumental music and sean-nós singing. They perform as a solo act and in collaboration with other musicians, including recordings and performances with Actress, Ashley Paul, Elvin Brandhi, James K, Maria Somerville, Moin, Michael Speers, Seán Being and Princ€ss. Past releases include Love/Dead (2020) and Auto Life (2021) on C.A.N.V.A.S., Dubplate 08 (2022) on AD 93, the single ‘Surf’ on Scenic Route (2024) and ‘Guess It’s Wrecked’, a collaboration with Moin for their third album You Never End on AD 93 (2024). See you on the dancefloor!
