About the event

Joel Harkin is a singer of songs and a spinner of yarns from Donegal. His 2020 album Never Happy was shortlisted for the NI Music Prize. . He is known for the contrast between his music and the whimsical, surrealist and very funny chatting he does as he tunes his guitar.

 He has supported artists like The Handsome Family, Courtney Marie Andrews, Joshua Burnside, Kitt Philippa, Grace Petrie and Dani Larkin to name a few.

Ernest Aines, Australian Folk Artist of the Year 2023 (nominee), is an award-winning singer-songwriter whose music draws comparisons to Ray LaMontagne, Bon Iver, Jeff Buckley, and Nick Drake.

His debut album "Spiral Bound" has been hailed for its “exceptional lyricism” and “instrumental genius,” with Rhythms Magazine describing it as “universal, borderless, and timeless.” Ernest has performed on renowned stages, including the Folk Alliance International and The Library of Congress, where his performances left lasting impressions. His recent UK tour saw sold-out shows and rave reviews, with AmericanaUK praising his delicate balance between introspection and exuberance.
