Lavery's

Franz Nicolay
2025-04-12 20:00 - 23:30 UTC | Lavery’s, 12-18 Bradbury Place, Belfast, Antrim, BT71RS, United Kingdom
We’re delighted to announce that Franz Nicolay—of The Hold Steady, Against Me!, Guignol and many more—will be playing an intimate show with us on Saturday 12th April.
After his scheduled Ireland tour dates were unexpectedly cancelled, Franz already had the flights booked… so we stepped in to offer him a stage. We love a story with a happy ending ?
This is a rare chance to catch a true punk-folk legend in an intimate setting.

He was also a touring member of Against Me!, and has recorded or performed with dozens of other acts.
His first book, The Humorless Ladies of Border Control, was named a “Season’s Best Travel Book” by The New York Times. His second, Someone Should Pay For Your Pain, was named one of Rolling Stone’s “Best Music Books of 2021,” while his latest, Band People, made Rolling Stone’s 2024 list and was praised by The New Yorker as “one of the most honest” books ever written about the rock & roll life.

Alongside Peter Gibney, the duo have been throwing parties in Belfast for the last few years, inviting a multi-faceted roster of artists for their debuts in the city – including Barker, D.Tiffany, Riz La Teef, LCY & Interplanetary Criminal – whilst honing their craft as two of the city’s most exciting DJ pairings.
Now under the alias of Uncle Mo, you will have seen him playing at AVA Festival, contributed a mix for Feel My Bicep’s reputable podcast series, appeared on Dublin Digital Radio & BBC ATL Introducing and last year put out a mix on London record label Lobster Theremin’s respected podcast series.

During the pandemic Andrew and Peter transformed Plain Sailing into an online-zine as a way of continuing to support the artists they loved during a time when gigs were not possible. They have since interviewed artists such as Mor Elian, Kettama, Cromby, EMA, Sputnik One and more, and have introduced new sounds and listening experiences from Ireland and beyond through their Plain Sailing Debuts track series and Making Waves video series.
