Odi
Tickets £10 in advance, £12 on the door
Odi is an Irish
singer-songwriter whose music combines folk, acoustic, pop, rock and indie.
Odi played her first gig four years ago, since that time she has supported
Eleanor McEvoy, Brian Kennedy and Seth Lakeman. She was tipped as one of the
top five artists to watch in 2010 by MySpace/Vodafone and her debut album
Maslow's Songbook was playlisted on Irish national radio station RTE1 to
great critical acclaim.
"Bursting with top quality vocals and strong songs. One listen will
never be quite enough". Maverick

Sunday 1 May, 8pm
Dervish
Tickets £16
County Sligo's finest
export, Dervish have been at the forefront of Irish traditional music for two
decades. One of the best-loved Irish bands, they won a huge swell of new fans
last summer with acclaimed performances at a string of major UK folk
festivals. Fronted by the entrancing Cathy Jordan on vocals - still regarded
by many as the most distinctive voice in Irish music today - the band create
a richly complex sound, full of energy, intricacy and subtlety.
"This is true craftsmanship." Tonder Festival, Denmark

Wednesday 4 May, 8pm
Martin Simpson
Tickets £16.50
In the last few years,
guitarist Martin Simpson has been busier, more successful and more visible
than ever before in his long career. His 2007 release Prodigal Son was
nominated for 5 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, winning Album of the Year. 2009 saw
the release of a new CD, True Stories, to wide critical acclaim. Simpson's
songs are beautifully written and at times most unusual in form, telling true
stories and dealing with themes of love, loss, home and much more.
“One of the national treasures of English traditional music." BBC Radio
