Unforgettable powerful voca ls\, carefully crafted songs and water-tight band. Authentic roots n’ blue s with a pinch of folk.
\nFor Clara Rose it has always been about ‘t he song’. On her mother’s knee\, the school choir getting onto ‘the telly’ \, winning an All-Ireland medal at the age of 12… the inevitable ‘all-girl s indie rock band’ in her teens followed by her first blues outfit with Mi ck Fay\, ‘Jungle Train’ who rocked various stages of N.U.I Maynooth where she completed her music degree.
\nShe then took it up a notch by rel easing her critically acclaimed debut album “A Portfolio” (2010) and live E.P “Queen of the Late Night Radio” (2014). Successful collaborations with blues harmonica legend Don Baker included a guest appearance on his 2013 album\, ‘My Songs\, My Friends’ and a collaborative album entitled ‘Baker Rose’ featuring original songs from the pair (2016).
\nWith acoustic guitar in hand Clara Rose has been on the road with The Clara Rose Band a nd with The Don Baker Band playing shows & festivals nationwide\, across E urope and even finding some blues joints to hear her dulcet tones in the U .S.A and London. She has shared stages with Eleanor McEvoy\, Henry McCullo ugh\, Paul Brady\, The Stunning\, Brian Kennedy & Mary Coughlan to name a few.
\n2017 saw Clara Rose embark on recording her second solo album with her band. Her new music has taken a turn in the road\, steering more towards melodic folk/roots but still tinted with the blues and always wit h ‘that’ unmistakable voice\, the songstress: Clara Rose.

The Martello Jazz Band was formed in the autumn of 1985 by a group of enth usiastic musicians who had played previously in other bands.
\nTheir aim was to produce a sound reminiscent of th e Dixieland bands which were commonplace in the New Orleans of the 1920’s and 1930’s\, but also to stamp on it their own brand of drive and flair.
\nThe resulting music is fresh and full o f vitality\, while still retaining the traditional flavour.
\nThis recipe has been successful in introducing a wid e range of audiences to this form of music\, even those who previously did not consider jazz to be to their taste!

Expect Classic Roots favourites\, Ska and Punk-Reggae from 80’s era London\, groovy Latin and a hint of dub here and there for good measure.

Unforgettable powerful voca ls\, carefully crafted songs and water-tight band. Authentic roots n’ blue s with a pinch of folk.
\nFor Clara Rose it has always been about ‘t he song’. On her mother’s knee\, the school choir getting onto ‘the telly’ \, winning an All-Ireland medal at the age of 12… the inevitable ‘all-girl s indie rock band’ in her teens followed by her first blues outfit with Mi ck Fay\, ‘Jungle Train’ who rocked various stages of N.U.I Maynooth where she completed her music degree.
\nShe then took it up a notch by rel easing her critically acclaimed debut album “A Portfolio” (2010) and live E.P “Queen of the Late Night Radio” (2014). Successful collaborations with blues harmonica legend Don Baker included a guest appearance on his 2013 album\, ‘My Songs\, My Friends’ and a collaborative album entitled ‘Baker Rose’ featuring original songs from the pair (2016).
\nWith acoustic guitar in hand Clara Rose has been on the road with The Clara Rose Band a nd with The Don Baker Band playing shows & festivals nationwide\, across E urope and even finding some blues joints to hear her dulcet tones in the U .S.A and London. She has shared stages with Eleanor McEvoy\, Henry McCullo ugh\, Paul Brady\, The Stunning\, Brian Kennedy & Mary Coughlan to name a few.
\n2017 saw Clara Rose embark on recording her second solo album with her band. Her new music has taken a turn in the road\, steering more towards melodic folk/roots but still tinted with the blues and always wit h ‘that’ unmistakable voice\, the songstress: Clara Rose.
\nAll releases available: www.cdbaby.com\, iTunes\, Spotify

First appearance in Limavady (as part of the festival at least) but I ’m sure many of you will already be familiar with Tony Villiers and the Vi llains. A real treat for us this year.
\nOften pegged as a blues ac t\, Tony Villiers and the Villains are actually much tric kier to define than that. Sure they have a definite blues edge\, but The V illains’ sound is multi-layered.
\nWith discernible hints of country \, touches of jazz and Doc Doherty’s mesmerising electric guitar this is a band that deserves deeper investigation to be fully appreciated. With pl enty of upcoming live dates and a new album on the way\, there’s no better time than now to do just that.

We couldn’t get enough of this bunch last year… so we brought them back !
\nThe Clandestinos formed in 2014 in their hometown of Galway. Their intention was to celebrate and pay tribute to t he much loved music of Reggae\, Ska and Latin and to bring its live atmosp here and vibe to Irish audiences.
\nFrom classic Jamaican roots regg ae\, the British ska and punk artists it helped influence\, to the Latin t inged sounds implemented by the likes of Manu Chao and Buena Vista Social Club\, The Clandestinos fuse all of this together in their 7-piece live sh ow with the agenda being to get the high spirits up and to make people mov e !
\nHaving started out as a more minimal affair in their stage set up\, the completed line-up now comprises of acoustic and electric guitars \, bass\, drums and is completed by a trio of saxophone\, trumpet and trom bone. Expect Classic Roots favourites\, Ska and Punk-Reggae from 80’s era London\, groovy Latin and a hint of dub here and there for good measure.
