Dea Matrona first to play the former 12 Bar on Denmark Street, now named The Lower Third

Irish rock duo Dea Matrona played a special acoustic set on Friday, becoming the first band to play the former 12 Bar, now named The Lower Third.

Dea Matrona, which comprises two school friends, Mollie McGinn and Orlaith Forsythe, played a 30 minute set within the iconic, revamped venue. Alongside covers of The Beatles’ ‘All My Loving’ and Simon & Garfunkel’s ‘Homeward Bound’, they also performed their latest single ‘Red Button’, which is out now.
