The Wonder Villains
No NI festival would be complete without a set from those loveable rogues The Wonder Villains. Colourful, energetic and ready for a good time, they don’t stop for a second on stage. After just releasing their debut album ‘Rocky’ this will be a good opportunity to hear some new material live. You can hear our interview with Eimear Coyle about their latest release here.

The Barley Mob
Irish reggae you say? It could either be so so wrong,  or so so right. Luckily for this 6 piece from Kildare, Ireland it’s the latter. There’s something comforting, yet addictive about this unique band’s music. It just works.

R51
Having won a place in The Oh Yeah Centre’s ‘Scratch My Progress’ scheme, alternative band R51 are definitely ones to watch in the near future. With shoe-gaze and dream pop influences, their music spans genres and this could be a good chance to catch a genuinely promising band before they hit it big.

Loris
This female fronted electro pop trio have been making waves in the NI music scene since they started last year. We just can’t get ‘Do It Right’ out of our heads!

I also quite like origami, reading, jazz, hip-hop, dubstep, anything acoustic and Food Network TV. I've written for The Big List, Culture NI, Chatterbox and The Echo, as well as writing for BBC Across the Line.
