 STEPHEN LEESON:

Stephen Leeson is an extraordinary Irish Folk Singer with a very unique voice.  A versatile musician who plays Guitar, Harmonica, Five String Banjo, Bodhran, Spoons and Bones, Stephen Leeson has toured all over Europe, America and parts of Asia whilst continuing to thrill audiences in every venue he performs in.  His impeccable stage presence captivates audiences in venues both big and small as he raises the roof with classic renditions of well loved Irish Ballads.  Having just released his new album "Isle of Hope" (2011) to great success, Stephen is busy planning a tour for 2012 which will see him travel all over Ireland as well as across the water promoting it.

JIMMY CROWLEY: 

Jimmy Crowley has been a central figure in the Irish folk scene since the enthusiastic reception of his debut album The Boys of Fairhill in 1977. With his band Stokers Lodge their mission was to present the street ballads of Cork city complimented by the ornate folk songs of the rural hinterland of Cork and Kerry in an exciting orchestration of uilleann pipes, concertina, autoharp, harmonium, mandolin, bouzouki and guitar in their native accent.

SHEBEEN FOLK:

Shebeen Folk are an extraordinary Irish Folk Group who have just reunited after 20 years.

Hailing from Lurgan, Co. Armagh, Shebeen Folk were quite successful in the eighties and enjoyed ten years of extensively touring.  Currently they are doing a number of reunion gigs…and are selling out the venues all over Northern Ireland.

The write and perform a lot of their own material and have been credited by fellow musicians in the industry for doing so.  With a four part harmony vocals and a musical style that sets them apart from anything yet to take to the stage, their performance on stage is more of an experience rather than a gig.
