AINE CAHILL

plus support

_ Main Venue _

From the moment Áine Cahill made her TV debut to millions in 2016, she was set for fame. Plucked from a pub stage at Glastonbury to perform live on the BBC’s festival coverage, before Coldplay’s set on the Sunday night, she mesmerised viewers who could scarcely believe that she wasn’t already a star. In fact, the then 21 year old was a naïve newcomer from a village in County Cavan, being managed by her postman. Oh, and she’d just spent a week sleeping in a van.

Overnight, Áine’s social media stats exploded. On Spotify alone, 150,000 signed up to hear more of her passionate, powerhouse vocals and self-written, storytelling songs. She was inundated with offers from excited industry insiders. In Ireland, radio stations added Áine to their playlists.

Within weeks, she had a manager, who has represented everyone from David Bowie and Depeche Mode to the Rolling Stones and the Spice Girls and she signed to a major international booking agency renowned for representing global superstars.

Since then, whilst releasing her own recordings up until recently, Áine has now signed to a major Record Company and been writing and recording new material as well as putting together her new band, playing countless festivals and headliners across the UK and Ireland.

She will play Whelan’s this Winter, on the 12th of December.

SÍOMHA

plus special guest

^ Upstairs ^

“SÍOMHA draws on a deep well of soul. This music transcends boundaries in a way I’ve never heard. And every second of every song is rooted in groove.” -Joe Dart (Vulfpeck)

Singer and guitarist SÍOMHA (pronounced Shee-va) dances the line between folk, jazz and neo-soul effortlessly, taking audiences on an unexpected, and unforgettable journey with her soulful melodies. Coming from a family steeped in music, SÍOMHA grew up on a diet of musical greats, with the sounds of jazz, trad, folk and soul creeping in and leaving an indelible mark on her musical tastes and influences. She started playing guitar at age 10, but it was later in her teens while attending high school in the south of France that she first took up jazz guitar, after a chance encounter lead to her learning from an Italian gypsy who taught her the manouche gypsy jazz style. The chords and sounds of jazz fascinated and inspired SÍOMHA, and she began to craft her own songs.

The next few years saw her travelling, with music as her compass, soaking up the sounds of each of the places she travelled and further honing her craft. In late 2016, having traversed America, Canada and Mexico, she felt an innate draw to return to home shores and a phenomenal few years have followed, including slots at renowned festivals such as Electric Picnic, Clifden Arts Festival, Doolin Folk Festival, Sligo Live and Dingle Folk Festival. She has played support slots for the likes of Joey Dosik (Vulfpeck), Moxie, Wyvern Lingo and is a regular special guest with the inimitable Paul Brady having opened for his Irish Tour in late 2017 and now counts him as one of her fans. SÍOMHA’s song ‘July Red Sky’ garnered over 1.7 million views online, and was recorded and performed live from the edge of The Burren, Co Clare. Most recently, SÍOMHA was invited to tour with celebrated contemporary American-Irish group The Olllam, featuring bassist Joe Dart of Vulfpeck. A connection was instantly formed amongst these musicians, and they collaborated together on a version of one of SÍOMHA’s Irish language songs, Craobhacha, creating a beautiful piece of music which perfectly blends the unique sounds of these two artists.

SÍOMHA’s music truly does defy any conventional genres. The influences of her musical background, her travels and musical explorations are audible in the music she creates. Always proud of her Irish heritage, she performs her songs in both the English and Irish languages. The beautiful landscape and rugged nature of her native West of Ireland are a huge source of inspiration for this proud Clare artist, leading her to create a soulful and unique style of music that has enthralled anyone who hears it. Her voice transcends musical boundaries, if you haven’t yet heard of SÍOMHA, you soon will.

GYPSIES ON THE AUTOBAHN

plus support

^ Upstairs ^

GYPSIES ON THE AUTOBAHN are:

James Smith – Guitar, piano, vocals
Dan Smith – Drums, backing vocals
Gary Quinn – Bass, backing vocals
Niall Mooney – Guitars, backing vocals

Gypsies on the Autobahn are a guitar-based quartet from Cabra on the Northside of Dublin, Ireland. The band comprises of brothers James and Dan Smith, playing alongside their old school pals, Gary Quinn and Niall Mooney.

The distinctive name Gypsies on the Autobahn was born out of an unusual brain-storming session. “It started in the communal shower of an all-boys school,” Niall reveals. We were talking about potential band names, and a friend of ours, who has a few screws loose, starting reeling off all these random names.  “It was crazy stuff altogether – and Gypsies on the Autobahn was actually the least crazy one. We called the band that initially as a joke, but it stuck.”

‘Born Brief’ is produced by the highly distinguished Rob Kirwan, who has worked with numerous illustrious artists including PJ Harvey, Depeche Mode, Editors, Delorentos, Bell X1, The Horrors, 30 Seconds To Mars, Hozier, and U2.

Speaking about writing and recording the album the, Niall says “We spent four or five days choosing the songs from our catalogue and figuring out how to improve them and take out what we didn’t need… Rob is great at relaxing us and he is a very chilled dude. His way of telling us to do a take again was to delete it. In a joke way he’d let us know we’d have to do better. The minute it felt good we’d move on.”

Recorded in Westland Row and Exchequer Studios, ‘Born Brief’ is a beguiling and brilliant record, which is permeated by a palpable sense of loss. “The songs deal with human relationships, but most of the songs came from the death of my father, who committed suicide when I was quite young,” James reveals. “I wasn’t able to talk about it and I needed to talk about it, so writing music was the best way to do it.

“It is amazing how many songs you can write about the one person. They’re about reacting to certain situations and the fact that he wasn’t there. I realized I hadn’t written a song about my mother, so the last song on the album ‘Home’ is about her, and how much she has done for us.

“Niall and I have always had the idea that the songs had to bring some hope to people, although we never actually had to talk about it”

“Fact is, this debut album from Limerick’s Bleeding Heart Pigeons has more going on constructively in one song than many other bands have across a suite of tracks.” – The Irish Times

“Bleeding Heart Pigeons ache with a sense of longing and also fear for what’s really out there.” – Mojo

“It is difficult to discuss Bleeding Heart Pigeons’ debut, ‘Is’, without being accused of hyperbole. This is because the record is so brilliantly put together (the album is mixed by David Wrench – FKA Twigs, Jape), so massive in scale and yet delicate in sound, so outlandish and glistening, that any descriptor or adjectives that can be used to describe it sound fluffed and false. As a record, it is simply too good not to eulogize. On February 12th, so early on in the calendar, we will be bestowed with what potentially could be an album of the year. And so, eulogize one must.” – Goldenplec

Dublin Blues Cartel formed a year and half ago, after a long association. They began playing every Monday in the Leeson Lounge, playing mostly a version of New Orleans R’n’B with a classic rock twist, sandwiched with swing, Rock’n’Roll, Soul, Funk, Blues and rap of all eras.Their sets consists of radical reworkings of well known R’n’B standards which segue into lengthy improvisations that are one minute, blues jazz crescendo, the next a funk dervish, one minute a pyschedelic freak out, next a country boogie twist, the next a dark ascension of Wagnerian majesty.

Featuring some the best musicians Ireland has ever produced, Dublin Blue cartel are:

James delaney (James has played with Sharon Shannon, Van Morrison, Paul Brady, Chuck Berry, Andrew Strong)

Pat Farrell: Lead Guitar (The Business, Red Peters). Pat had shared stages with B.B. King, Jeff Healy, John Primer and Carlos Johnson

JERRY FISH

SONGS & TALL TALES (LIVE)

plus guests

_ Main Venue _

We are delighted to have Jerry Fish back in Whelan’s on Sun 16th Dec. Tickets €22 go on sale on Fri 12th Oct, 9am.

He’s one of Ireland’s most enigmatic and entertaining performers to the point where Ireland’s biggest music and arts festival, the Electric Picnic have for the past six years afforded him his very own stage.

What a year 2018 has been for Jerry Fish, his tent at Electric Picnic doubled in size, “The Jerry Fish Electric Sideshow” now in a big top, has become one of the main attractions at EP.  He also reformed his 90’s alt rock band An Emotional Fish this year to deliver a mischievous and magnificent set, causing a pitch invasion at Féile Classical and has just returned from a sell-out show in France.

An indie legend and ringmaster of exceptional renown, Jerry Fish has evolved into a showman extraordinaire, capturing the hearts and minds of audiences all over with his now legendary live shows, a unique live theatrical experience that dissolves all boundaries between performer and audience.

For those who don’t know the back story; Jerry Fish blasted onto the Music Scene in the 1990’s touring the globe as front-man of alternative rock outfit An Emotional Fish, the band who gave us the indie rock anthem “Celebrate”

These days the name Jerry Fish is synonymous with Festivals, Carnival Sideshow, Circus and Theatre.

Mr. Fish’s genre bending and idiosyncratic style of entertainment has made him a household name within the Irish Music industry. With two Platinum selling solo albums, an MTV award and IRMA Music Award, and a solid reputation as a supreme and spectacular showman.

In 2017 Jerry took his stranger-than-fiction life story to theatre audiences for the first time at the Dublin Fringe festival; “The Songs & Tall Tales of Jerry Fish.”

Jerry is currently touring an intimate piano show, performing his favourite songs, old, new, borrowed and blue, from a career spanning over two decades as well as excerpts from his sell-out fringe theatre show.

A highly charismatic performer who refuses to countenance audiences having anything but a good time, accentuating the positive and bringing smiles to troubled faces with his swaggering vocal, generous and infectious smile and that fantastic vaudeville moustache.

Catch Jerry Fish Live this Christmas!

A guaranteed up-lifting night out for all!

HUDSON TAYLOR

5 Night Stand

MON 17th, TUE 18th, WED 19th, THUR 20th, FRI 21st & SAT 22nd DEC

_ Main Venue _

Hudson Taylor play a 5 night stand this Christmas at Whelan’s in Dublin from the 17th to the 21st of December 2018.

Irish duo, brothers Harry and Alfie Hudson Taylor, have just released their ‘Feel It Again’ EP. Their first new music since their album “Singing for Strangers” debuted in 2015.  The EP, which charted Top 5 in the Irish album charts, gives their fans the first taste of Hudson Taylor’s forthcoming second album, which has been produced by Ryan Hadlock, best known for his work with The Lumineers and Vance Joy, and is being mixed by Ruadhri Cushnan (Mumford & Son, Ed Sheeran).

Building on the success of the debut album, which was produced by Iain Archer (James Bay, Jake Bugg), and featured three big hits – ‘Chasing Rubies’, ‘Battles’ and ‘Weapons’; the multi-talented siblings enjoyed a busy 2017. They played to one of the biggest crowds of the weekend at the Electric Picnic festival in September, and their lead-off Irish single “Feel It Again” was one of the biggest national airplay hits of 2017. Hudson Taylor rounded off the year with a sold out headline tour.

Barely pausing for breath, 2018 has seen the brothers on a sold out headline tour of the UK and Europe, and an exciting US tour with Gabrielle Aplin. The US trip saw them make their US TV debut on Good Day New York on Fox and WGN-TV in Chicago. They also completed high-profile online sessions for Paste Magazine, Baeble Music and Balcony TV in LA.

Returning to Ireland to find second single ‘Run With Me’ in the airplay Top 10, and streaming figures well in excess of one million plays for both that track and aching acoustic ballad ‘Old Soul’, Hudson Taylor wrapped an action-packed Irish tour with a sold out, home town show at The Olympia Theatre in Dublin.

Currently gearing up for a busy summer of festival spots in the UK, Ireland and continental Europe, Hudson Taylor have just announced a fresh tour of the UK for November 2018.
