Naoise Roo
After a breath-taking album launch at the Twisted Pepper recently, alternative-rock artist Naoise Roo brings her brooding live show to Valentia Isle 2015.
This Other Kingdom
This Other Kingdom’s Telescopic album ushered in the psych-rock band’s full-on dynamism, coupled with the group’s live reputation their upcoming festival appearance this weekend will be a must.
Columbia Mills
Hot on the heels of their brilliant sophomore E.P. the Perfect Day, Columbia Mills bring their all-encompassing live show to Valentia Isle.
Exploding Eyes
Rock ‘n’ roll three-piece Exploding Eyes take to the Radiomade stage at Valentia Isle this weekend. The band’s ferocious sound will make for an attention grabbing set.
Travis Oaks
With their recent live shows, Travis Oaks have become the show-stoppers of the Irish music scene. Unpredictable and engrossing, the band’s Valentia Isle show could provide something very special indeed.
Laura Ann Brady
Singer-songwriter Laura Ann Brady is an artist who has been consistently impressing with live appearances of late, with the musician’s recent set at the Window Sessions at Mish Mash being a particular highlight. Brady’s dark-folk sound will play well surrounded by the intimate surrounds of Valentia Isle.
