“There’s an earthiness and grittiness and a reality about this that I find personally incredibly appealing, the simplicity of the music is absolutely stunning.”
- Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2
“Dumb Supper is one of those rare modern folk albums that will find a home in both the longstanding ‘traditional’ music community and among those attracted to the form’s more experimental and lo-fi possibilities….It’s a weird looking-glass effect many folk fans will be familiar with: the straighter you play it, the stranger it gets…Shirley Collins always understood this and so do Cath & Phil Tyler.” - Frances Morgan, Plan B Magazine
Last seen in Dublin supporting Mr Bill Callahan, Cath & Phil Tyler return on July 30th for their debut Irish headline show. Cath & Phil play Anglo-American folk music using guitar, banjo, voice and fiddle. Cath was a member of the band Cordelia’s Dad in the 1990s when she lived in Massachusetts, USA. Phil, from Newcastle upon Tyne has played in various folk, rock and ceilidh bands for many years. Coming together musically through a shared love of traditional narrative song, full voiced sacred harp singing and sparse mountain banjo, they have performed on stages as diverse as the Royal Opera House in London and a dank tower in the old city walls of Newcastle. Taking a more minimal approach to their material than some, they have been described as ‘one of the most compelling musical partnerships on the scene’, their music being 'a highly concentrated and intimate musical experience that penetrates to the very rawest essence of folk tradition’.
Drowning Leaves:
Drowning Leaves are a Dublin-based traditional & modern folk music duo who combine intricate nylon string guitar with skillful & beautifully arresting traditional singing. They have deep roots in the Dublin & Irish music circuits and are regularly joined by other local folk musicians for tunes and songs. Their music is delicate, sometimes gritty but always deeply rooted in tradition.
Christian Brady and Aoife Dermody have been making music together since they crossed paths on the traditional Irish music circuit in Melbourne, Australia in 2008. Based in Dublin since 2009, Christian and Aoife have cemented their reputation as skilled musicians and accomplished performers in the traditional music scene in Dublin. Before they started playing together, both were established musicians and have toured both nationally and internationally
