Bands and solo artists that are playing this year
1pm to 2pm
Rich and Lou Duo – they have been playing together for five years and cover songs from the 60’s to modern day classics. Performing stripped back versions of songs you know and love, they create a big sound using guitar, cajon and soulful harmonies.
2.15pm to 3.30pm
Fiddle and Strum – brother / sister duo from County Down. They’ll get you singing along with a varied repertoire. They swing from table-banging Irish drinking songs to heartfelt folk music, and from Appalachian airs to country music bangers. With Jenny on fiddle and Michael on guitar, fingers will fly during the instrumentals and voices will soar in classic songs both modern and historic. Grab a drink, straighten your hat and enjoy!
