Gavin Boyce Live, January 30, Luca Records & Decks 

An unforgettable night of Deep House as Gavin Boyce presents his first-ever live performance at Luca Records & Decks.

This special evening marks a new chapter for one of Waterford’s most respected electronic artists, as Gavin steps away from the DJ booth to perform his own productions live.

Boyce has spent 25 years behind the decks and 17 years producing music, building a reputation for deep, emotive, and groove-driven house music. 

This debut live show will showcase Gavin’s Deep House sound in a new and immersive format — stripped back, expressive, and performed live.

Supporting Gavin is local stalwart and RePublik DJ, Paul McCarthy.
