Debra Byrne and Dion Hirini To Stream From Memo Music Hall This Weekend

Debra Byrne and Dion Hirini will perform to an audience of none from Memo Music Hall this Sunday.

Byrne, a big fan of JD Souther, James Taylor and John Hiatt, was the opening act for Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings in the 90s.

“One of the highlights of my career was to be the support act for The Highwaymen,” Debra says. It was an extraordinary experience and it reignited a dream that I could perform the songs closest to my heart. I had been performing in musical theatre and though I loved the chance to bring characters to life through song, the lack of freedom to change was always a challenge for me.”

Dion Hirini will accompany Debra on guitar. “Dion is a wonderfully gifted singer, musician and a person I enjoy being with on and off the stage. We like to tell a story through song and I love to bring my theatrical experience to each moment. We perform the songs we adore, not all of the same genre but mindful that we keep a flow that compliments each song. I hope you will enjoy the experience as much as we do,” she says.

Grab your e-ticket to watch this Sunday from 7:30pm.

The Damned released the first ever UK punk single, “New Rose” off album Damned, Damned, Damned, in 1976, and were often overshadowed by their English punk counterparts. Now in their late sixties and still touring world-wide, featuring the original line up of Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies and Paul Gray, they are the ones having the last laugh and have left their old rivals for dead, in certain respects, quite literally!
