Shamrock Showband are a psychedelic country and Irish band consisting of Conor McAuley (DUG) on fiddle, Jamie Bishop (MUCKNO, Jinx Lennon) on guitar, samplers and synthesizers and Joel Harkin (Pedal & Lever Society) on pedal steel guitar. They hail from the border counties of Louth (Dundalk), Monaghan (Castleblaney) and Donegal (Convoy) respectively. Unequal parts Irish country & western, psychedelic, folk and punk, SHAMROCK SHOWBAND are paying homage to and trying to revive the Irish Showband era. The Irish showband was a dance band format popular in Ireland from the 1950s to the 1980s.

Trick Mist is Cork based artist and multi instrumentalist musician Gavin Murray. His music channels traditional Irish music through an abstract prism conjuring a contemplative liminal landscape between reality and imagination. Shaped by a love of sean-nós singing, experimental sound processing, colloquial absurdist lyrics and the writings of Irish mystic John Moriarty his music forges an environment that is simultaneously familiar and transcendent..

Venetian Tendencies is a sonic art and music collaboration between Sarah Grimes and Eothen Stearn. Blending vocal hooks with meditative drum layers and textured synths, their sound is both steady and fluid, a lo-fi no frills approach to capturing everyday glimmers. Their work explores the fleeting nature of life: small complexities, ordinary moments and quiet anecdotes that often pass unnoticed.

Roo Honeychild is a DJ, producer and party starter working between Dublin and Glasgow. She is a founding member of music and party collective Club Comfort. She has performed in Clubs and at festivals across Ireland, the UK and EU and has appeared on air for the likes of Dublin Digital Radio, NTS, Rinse FM, Reprezent Radio, etc. In 2021 she co-founded City Imp Records, a label for Irish club and pop music with a freak edge.
