THE YOUNG FOLK
plus guests
GENTRY MORRIS & SINEAD WHITEThe Dublin five piece have been touring parts of Ireland, Scandinavia and North America over the past 9 months whiles performing at some of Irelands well known festival such as Electric Picnic, Sea Sessions, Valentia Isle Festival and The Spirit of Folk Festival.
The Young Folk’s powerful self-titled ep (which is out now) has the anticipated balance of seamless harmonies, classic folk progression that continues their journey through dynamic soundscapes. With shades of alt-county heroes in evidence, the bands orchestration nods to home grown and North American folk traditions that artfully build melodies that feel as though they have existed for many years.
Dubliner Magazine labelled them as “a unique prospect” “one of the most promising young Irish bands of recent years” (Eamon Carr), not because of their impressive resume, but because of the raw energy and passion they bring to the stage.
The Young Folk were a revelation. part Fleet Foxes, the sterling vocals were the pinnacle of a set bursting with a rousing underbelly that demanded attention – this is a band more than capable of making a big breakthrough.” Bryan O’Hanlon (Stop The Lights)
The Young Folk is not a typical folk band, but instead display an interesting interplay between traditional instruments and modern musicality that has drawn the support of RTE DJ’s Pat Kenny, Cathal Murray and John Creedon, 2FM’S Jenny Huston, Paddy McKenna and Ruth Scott and TV3′s Ireland AM show of which all featured The Young Folk in 2012.–

Three hand-picked bands showcase their originality, performance and amazingly fresh songwriting skills. It is a great opportunity to see the next round of Ireland’s unsung and unsigned.

THE BOXING PLOT
The Boxing Plot formed 3 or 4 years ago when a group of friends decided that since they weren’t playing sports or doing homework, they may as well be playing music. After countless hours spent practising, drinking tea and eating nachos, The Boxing Plot emerged ready to take on the world, no longer the pale, innocent boys they once were. Maurice “The Heels” Healy and Oscar Jay L’Esnard hold down the low end, providing the beats and the bass lines respectfully. Oilver “Le Monde” Kelly and The Fox shred some serious axe, while The Fox’s lupine croon adds a little spice to the mix. They now record and play live when the mood takes, and tweet a lot.

CLIFF MASHETI
Originally hailing from Kenya Cliff Masheti has been performing ever since his teens. His journey began as a former frontman of The Impressionists a Hiphop funk band that won the Blastbeat national battle of the bands competition in 2006 beating over 100 other bands from around the country to claim the coveted prize of a recording contract. This resulted in an EP being recorded in the prestigious ‘Grouse lodge’ studios. That same here he played in Oxygen in the redbull break in tent. As part of the band he represented Ireland in Johannesburg, South Africa He has opened for distinguished acts such as Hypnotic brass ensemble, during a period which the band had a residency in the popular venue The Pavilion in Cork. Among the venues he has played in are The Cork Opera House, The Savoy (Cork), The Half Moon (Cork), Vicar Street (Dublin), Radio City (Dublin) The Button Factory (Dublin), The Tripod (Dublin), The Black Box (Galway) and The National Conference Centre (Johannesburg, South Africa). Following the break up of the band last year he spent the year working on his first solo project ‘The Audition’ which was released in the summer and has already spawned two singles , one with an accompanying video and has received positive feedback for its diverse sound merging different genres such as reggae soul and blues to create a solid debut.
Here’s a link to my website where you can listen to my music. http://masheti.webs.com/ ____________
ANNAVILLA
AnnaVilla, formed in 2012, are a 5 piece rock band consisting of Tony Power, Eugene Markovski, Nion Geraghty, Andrew Quinlan and Andrew Hegarty. They have steadily been gigging around the Dublin music scene and in January 2013 are heading in to the studio to record their debut EP. These lads are set to light up the music world with their enthusiastic and delightful blend of Summer Stoner Rock. They are rockin’ every goddam day and night! Women want to be them and Men want to date them. They will exercise your senses and leave you gasping for more. They are AnnaVilla! Do you have what it takes to be an AnnaVillian?

SANDRA COFFEY
Sandra Coffey’s musical interests were sparked as a youngster during long summer days in the Galway countryside. Her and her siblings would listen to the charts and learn the latest dance moves. Sandra believes that this early submergence in music has stood her well.She released her first single, Mascara Girl, last September. The song gets inside a woman’s thoughts as she gets ready for a date on a summer’s evening. Sandra followed that up with the release of her second single, Baby Leave a Light on for Me in December. She is currently finishing off her album, which she will release early in 2013.
Sandra has been nominated for 3 awards by Music Review Unsigned. She is nominated for Best Female, Best Newcomer and Best Single (Mascara Girl). Her musical influences come from a variety of sources from listening to the Beach Boys and Michael Jackson to relishing the songs of Joni Mitchell, Ella Fitzgerald, the Carpenters and Amy Winehouse.
Sandra has previously performed on RTÉ’s Seoige Show. As part of her appearance on the show, she got to record in Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin. Her mentor on that occasion was Eurovision winner Paul Harrington who described her as having “a powerful and soulful voice which can effortlessly reaches high notes”.
__________________________
FEDERATION OF LIGHT
Crafted in the loom of the zeitgeist, the tri-threaded weave of The Federation of Light’s an amalgam of Martin (vox, guitar, keys), Jer (guitars, keys, vox) and, introducing, band-in-a-box Alan (keys,vox).
Cork-Irish by the vagaries of twisted culture,multiversal by inclination, The Federation search for the macro in the micro. An attempted recovery from post Catholic guilt, though deserving of most of those pangs,is attended by a parallel reordering following the loss of national sovereignty, whilst never having been empowered.
The Federation are taut with the stress of all that creative tension and, since the world’s beyond saving, in this dimension at least, we want to hit you in the hips. To move you to rudimentary motion, from there to basic, repeating, physical patterns and from there to the embodiment of emotion in form.
If all that sparks synapses coursing through to the thinking brain, then fair enough -as long as you’re dancin
