Traditional singing session The Night Before Larry Got Stretched returns for its first session of 2021 with Armagh singer Pearse Larkin, hosted live via Zoom and streamed on Facebook.

Pearse Larkin is 17 and comes from Crossmaglen in County Armagh. He has been singing pretty much since he could talk but began singing competitively at the age of 8. His singing has afforded him great accolades and unique opportunities. Most notably winning the Corn Sheosaimh Ui hEanaaigh at Oireachtas in 2016, performing at Gradam Ceoil in 2017 and lifting trophies in both Irish and English singing in Fleadh Ceoil na hEireann in every age category he has competed in. Pearse loves nothing better than sitting to the wee small hours at a singing session keen to learn and work on tailoring his craft. Pearse has gained a great deal of advice and tutelage from some of the best singers in Ireland and he continues to grow in his knowledge and love for his art.

For any singers looking to take part, we ask that you register for a free ‘ticket’ above and Zoom links will be forwarded via e-mail on the day of the session. For those wishing simply to view and listen, the event will be streamed live from The Night Before Larry Got Stretched Facebook page.
