One of the most compelling and inspirational musicians Ireland has ever seen, Christy has a universal fan base and still continues to entertain, cementing him as an Irish icon. It is his deep urge to connect with the listener and to transmit the meaning of the songs he sings that has endeared him to audiences of all ages. Christy has released 30 solo albums from ‘Paddy on the Road’ (1969) through to his multi-platinum pair of live albums, ‘On the Road’ and ‘Magic Nights’ (2017 & 2019). Christy’s latest album is ‘Flying Into Mystery’ released 2021 (Hot Press Folk Album of the Year)
Formed in 2016, Pillow Queens–made up of Pamela Connolly (lead vocals, guitar, bass), Sarah Corcoran (vocals, guitar, bass), Cathy McGuiness (vocals, lead guitar) and Rachel Lyons (vocals, drums)–burst onto the scene with their debut demo EP Calm Girls, leading to a string of UK and Irish dates and festival appearances. The release of their follow up EP State of the State prompted Hot Press to write the band is, “currently lauded by any critic worth their salt.” Their debut album In Waiting arrived in 2020 and received praise from The Guardian, who called them “2020’s most exciting indie rockers,”, they received an Irish Album of The Year nomination and made their first U.S. national television appearance remotely on the Late Late Show with James Corden. Taking the world by storm, the band went on to tour North America, UK and Europe, play at SXSW and open for Phoebe Bridgers in Glasgow. Upon the 2022 release of their sophomore album Leave The Light On, Pitchfork wrote, “Pillow Queens make the kind of noise that tends to flourish live, roared back by the faithful: burnished heartland euphoria, defiant lyricism bolstered by ragged harmonies, lashings of pride, and an unabashed love of crescendos”. The band once again received an Irish Album Of The Year nomination. Now, in late 2023, Pillow Queens are ready to return with more, as they only continue to reach new heights. “Suffer,” the anthemic new track by Pillow Queens is out everywhere now.
A multi-award winning, platinum-selling singer-songwriter, although still known for his busking, he made the journey from street corners to stadiums with ‘Let Her Go’, which reached number 1 in 19 countries, has now notched more than six billion streams globally and is the 2nd most Shammed song of all time. Yet ‘Let Her Go’ is just one song from a catalogue that extends across 13 albums in 13 years. The consistency of his output, and his authenticity both on and off stage, has won Passenger a global fanbase and he continues to tour the world headlining some of its most famous stages.
