The Delorentos
The band drifted together in the usual fashion……… inspired by boredom, creative energy, and a passion for music - obvious reference points are Pixies, The Cure, The Clash and Arcade Fire; more oblique influences slide in from most genres of music and virtually every decade from the 50s onwards. Over a period of time that saw others attempt to tie down a description of their sound, they holed up in the wilds of Portrane, Co Dublin (“It’s an amazing place to make music and a key factor in the Delorentos sound.”) and concentrated on writing songs, pure and simple. They had no interest in the frills and fripperies or the empty bombast that occupy other bands; for them it has always been about 4 people communing to harness honest emotion, fashion melodic hooks, and roll out infectious rhythms.

Na Fianna
Na Fianna, Damien, Walsh, Ross Hennessy, Lee Campion and John Walsh have been together since March 2007 and are continuously building on their reputation as great entertaining balladeers. The energy and passion on show in each performance is something the lads thrive on. Na Fianna feels they are somewhat unique in that they do not have a “lead” singer. The lads are all highly skilled musicians and powerful singers too. They play and sing the music they like - and they play it and sing it the way that they think it should be performed.

BEBOP & ROCKSTEADY
Well hello there, we are Bebop & Rocksteady!
We're from Laois!
The county that doesn't touch any other county that touches the sea.
Very land-locked altogether.
We're beach deprived!
We formed in February 2010, the night before our first gig.
We like to wear hats, although our new guitarist just has really cool hair.
We won the Irish Youth Music Award in April and we have the trophy to prove it!
We played the after-party of the Dublin Zombie Walk 2010, and we're set to play it again in 2011!
