The Hammond Family
4.10pm
The Hammonds are a musical family from Bray Co Wicklow, consisting of siblings Suzanne,Karen and Aoife, and their dad Ray.
They grew up listening to everything from Planxty and Clannad to Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell and are influenced heavily from their dads singing and playing guitar since they can remember.
They are individual musicians in their own right, with numerous solo projects, collaborations and bands, including punk, trad, electronic and drum and bass influences but always come back to their roots to sing harmonies together to the songs they grew up listening to.
Expect a cosy evening focused on the siblings weaving their haunting harmonies through Leonard Cohen's varied songbook as well as Irish folk songs they grew up singing in the town they love so well. -
Neo Morake
5.20pm
Dublin-based singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Neolithic (Neo Morake) has just released his second solo single, “Thots.” He has been active in the Irish music scene for over a decade with several projects including his band Nobody’s Heroes, as a well known busker, and now his solo project.
A laid back beat made up of layered guitars and vocals meets Neolithics’s signature playful swagger. His quick and clever flow amplifies the groove as he raps and sings about experiences he’s had as well as his evolving identity as an artist.
