About this Event
Welsh singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Alex Irene returns to Theatreship to celebrate the release of his third album "In my heart there is a beating engine" with a free performance of the record, in full, in the Ship's intimate front bar.
Alex Irene is a Welsh singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist living in London. His music pairs finely-wrought lyrical intimacy with inventive, expansive arrangements that straddle an open border between lush classicism and DIY experimentation. As an instrumentalist, Irene has appeared live and on record with artists including Dana Gavanski, David John Morris (Red River Dialect), Antony Macassus and Plainmoor. His third full-length LP "In my heart there is a beating engine", a double-disc love letter to the life, history and spirit of South Wales, was released by Joy of Life International on November 6th 2026.
Join Joy of Life, Alex and friends for a completely free evening of music.
