Upcoming Sessions
- WOL Collective
- Get ready to dance with WOL Collective, a five-piece folk-rock band from Kilkenny. Their unique blend of traditional Irish folk songs with 60’s psychedelic and folk-rock influences creates a rich, harmony-led sound reminiscent of Jefferson Airplane and Fairport Convention.
- Friday, 2nd May 2025, 5pm - 7pm
- Our Man in the Field
- Experience the soulful indie-folk and Americana vibes of UK singer-songwriter Alex Ellis and his band. Their music is an intoxicating mix that nods to Ray LaMontagne, Damien Rice, Wilco, Ryan Adams, and Lambchop.
- Saturday, 3rd May 2025, 5pm - 7pm
- Leaf Rapids
- Hailing from Winnipeg, Canada, Leaf Rapids brings their ethereal folk, driving country, and wiry honky-tonk style to the stage. Often described as "cinematic Canadiana," their music explores family stories with unique elements like the theremin.
- Sunday, 4th May 2025, 5pm - 7pm
Don’t miss out on live music, delicious drinks, and great vibes all weekend long! See you there!
