Saturday 19th September – Lineup
Damien Hanna: With an exceptional voice, masterful guitar playing, and years of experience, this singer-songwriter brings every song to life. Honest songwriting and confident performances have earned him a reputation as a compelling live artist.
Trist: Trist is an acoustic rock outfit with a difference, combining hard-edged rock with soaring violin to create a refreshing and distinctive sonic experience. Their live performances blend powerful vocals & songwriting with dynamic musicianship, leaving audiences captivated.
Every March: Every March began as a solo project for Barry Shields before evolving into a five-piece band. Across three albums and a series of singles, they have drifted between genres and alternative sounds, earning praise for their distinctive songwriting and live performances.
Sweet Neptune: Sweet Neptune is a Belfast-based quintet that balances satire and sincerity, harmony and dissonance, sweet and sour. Already championed by BBC Introducing and Nu Muze, the band is quickly making waves beyond Ireland's shores.
