Irish natives including Bernadette Morris and and Colum Sands will make their way to the festival. Morris’ fresh approach to traditional folk songs has been wowing audiences since her 2013 debut album All the Ways You Wander, while singer/songwriter and broadcaster for the BBC’s Ulster’s Folk Club program, Colum Sands, is a busy man between his own touring and recording schedules as well as producing for other artists.
Also on the bill is an extremely big name in Irish music, John McSherry, whose career spans an impressive 20 years. Currently working towards the release of his second solo album, John has formed a host of bands over the years, touring the globe extensively, while he now continues to push the boundaries of Irish music with his current band John McSherry & The Soma Band.
Festival-goers can also look forward to a familiar Aussie face hitting the stage, with 2006 Australian Idol contestant, Damian Leith set to perform. His reality TV stint isn’t all that he’s been up to though, with an impressive career also including television hosting, two published books through Harper Collins, a slew of hit singles, and his own Sydney recording studio to boot.
