Pilgrims, the collaborative project of Irish artists Paul Noonan and Brian Crosby, have announced a special run of September shows in Dublin, London and Paris, bringing their acclaimed debut album Wintering to three of Europe’s most intimate and atmospheric rooms.
The duo will perform at the National Concert Hall, Dublin on 12 September, SJQ, London on 17 September, and Centre Culturel Irlandais, Paris on 18 September. The performances follow a sold-out Irish tour and continue the duo’s return to the stage in its most stripped-back form: voice and piano, at close range.
Pilgrims marks a natural reconnection between two longtime collaborators whose musical partnership began in their teenage years. Noonan and Crosby first formed Juniper alongside Damien Rice before going on to become founding members of Bell X1.
Released on 30 January 2026, Wintering brings these two sensibilities back into close conversation for the first time in more than 16 years. Written across 2024 and 2025 and recorded at Crosby’s Treehouse Studios in County Wicklow, the album is a restrained, piano-led collection rooted in space, atmosphere and voice.
“A powerful soundtrack for quiet reflection.” – Hot Press
Pilgrims’ live show centres on the emotional immediacy of piano and voice, drawing from Wintering alongside selected material from the early Bell X1 catalogue.
Upcoming shows:
12 September 2026 – National Concert Hall, Dublin
17 September 2026 – SJQ, London
18 September 2026 – Centre Culturel Irlandais, Paris
