Ballina Music Trail feature Mayo’s Own Local Voices
In Local Voices, the Other Voices Music Trail has swollen substantially with a whopping 22 new acts confirmed for free gigs throughout Ballina on September 28th and 29th. Mayo’s burgeoning wealth of diverse music talent is underscored with the addition of Foxford’s finest, alt-rockers The Kerbs, Achill Island singer songwriter Graham Sweeney, piano-laden, quirky pop from Mayo-born/Dublin based Laura Ryder and wave-making Westport hip-hop poet Uppbeat. Joining the line-up are Dublin hip-hop-grime trailblazers Mango x Mathman, Waterford funk-popsters Toucan and indie pop singer-songwriter, Belfast’s Peter J McCauley. Soak up the rootsy harmonies of Kildare’s LemonCello, ambient pop from Dublin’s ZaPho, the soul-folk sounds of Belfast songsmith Owen Lamont and the thundering indie-rock of Dublin’s Karms.
Mayo bound revellers are in for an audio feast with the rich folk-pop of Dublin’s I Have A Tribe, the neo-classical complexities of Clare’s Paddy Mulcahy, dreamy folk by Derry’s Reevah, new-age art rock from Dublin’s Cult Called Man and the hook laden alt riffs of Derry/Donegal duo Waldorf and Cannon. Also featuring on the eclectic line-up will be Dublin indie-punk band Girlfriend, experimental electronica with Belfast’s Rebekah Fitch, Galway born ethereal cellist Naomi Berrill, alt-electronica from Dubliners Heroes in Hiding, atmospheric tunes by Stephen Tiernan aka Participant from Dublin, and Royal Yellow from Wicklow, the new experimental offering from Enemies frontman Mark O’Brien.
