Events to Tune Into
Alone Together 2 – Mini Music Festival 2021 - From 9pm 12/06/2021 |
All Ages
|
An Grianán Theatre and the Regional Culture Centre have teamed up to present ‘Alone Together II’, a mini online music festival featuring five emerging regional acts. Tune in to see ‘Tramp’, ‘Happy Out’, ‘George Houston’ ‘Lunch Machine’ and ‘Laytha’ perform some of their new material and find out what they have been up to over the lockdown period. Launches at 9pm on Cruinniú na nÓg (Friday 12th June) and will be available to watch online throughout the rest of the Lasta Festival 2021. Curated and presented by Megan Nyhan, Ciaran Coyle, Ailis Cross Gorman and Fergal Lonergan. 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐏 Combining elements of indie rock and grunge, Tramp’s sound is defined by the ethereal vocals of Siânna Lafferty, the impeccable drum skills of Steamy, bassist Ellie McFadden and guitarist Fionnbarr Doran. Hailing from Derry/Donegal, Tramp are fresh faces on the local music scene but with their unique sound and grunge energy are definitely a force to be reckoned with. 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗬 𝗢𝗨𝗧 Having cut their teeth playing bars, parks, festivals and anywhere in between, post-indie rock trio Happy Out have chiselled themselves a place as an established crowd favourite within the Donegal/Derry scene. They can be identified by their blown out amplifiers, screaming vocals and decimated drumkits. 𝙂𝙀𝙊𝙍𝙂𝙀 𝙃𝙊𝙐𝙎𝙏𝙊𝙉 Alone Together is proud to introduce George Houston, a young solo musician from Donegal. Inspired by the likes of First aid kit and Lana Del Rey, George’s style can be described as synth/folk. He kicked off his music career last year with his debut single ‘Boo F*cking Hoo’ and then went on to release his very own EP ‘Class of 2020’. With his newest track ‘Motions’ already garnering interest on Spotify we are very excited to see the heights this alternative singer songwriter will reach. 𝐿𝐴𝑌𝑇𝐻𝐴 With a sound that is as beautiful and untamed as their home in the west of Ireland comes Laytha. An indie-folk duo from Enniskillen these Irish singer-songwriters specialise in weaving fiery tales and cold ballads. A fusion of contemporary indie melodies and harmonies with dark, traditional folkish rhythms, the roots of Laytha run deep speaks to a wide audience. On their debut EP Taobh Eile, the duo paint bright portraits and landscapes, lined with pain, wanderlust, and a sense of longing. The settings and characters that inhabit Laytha’s world are full of life and struggle, portrayed within rich imagery that incorporates folklore, nature, wilderness and a push back against modernity. 𝐋𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐇 𝐌𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐄 Donegal based ‘granny flat thrunge rock four-piece’ Lunch Machine are a deftly talented group led by vocalist Jude Barriscale, who’s laconic delivery is evocative of that of Courtney Barnett’s. Barriscale’s knack for injecting personal, universal truths with a detached sincerity elevates what could be slack meanderings to poignant social commentary while simultaneously transporting the listener to a peaceful, contemplative state of mind.
