ARP is the long-time project of Midlander and Deserted Village lynchpin Dave Colohan, Agitated Radio Pilot is just as often a sprawling multi-piece orchestra as it is Dave alone with only his guitar and voice. But regardless, ARP makes music of stark sadness, melancholic warmth and the sound of the forest. He's brought his personal vision of folk to just about everywhere in Ireland and has played alongside such acts as Johnny Moynihan, Charalambides, Josephine Foster, Andy Irvine, Jack Rose, Sunroof!, Fursaxa and many others...( Adapted from Lazybird mail out...) He has released music on several labels including Deadslackstring, Deserted Village, Foxglove, Pseudoarcana, Slow Loris & Rusted Rail...Imminent releases include THE RURAL ARCANE, a double cdr on Deserted Village & WORLD WINDING DOWN, a double cd on Deadslackstring Which is being launched at this gig....Dave is or has been a member of other such projects as United Bible Studies, The Driftwood Manor, The Magickal Folk Of The Faraway Tree, C*U*B*S, Murmansk, Holt, Lost Roman Legions, Team Discovery Channel, Arkhangelsk, Townparks Foundry, Children Of The Stones, Lodern and others too shady to mention & will never let a band get in the way of a good band name...

Alison is the former vocalist in Irish psyche folk group Mellow Candle. She contributes guest vocals to The new Agitated Radio Pilot and will be singing with Dave at this gig as well as performing her own material with Isabel
Alison works on a regular basis with Isabel Ní Chuireáin. A multi-instrumentalist and tunesmith, Isabel was born under the Capricorn sign and raised in the Gaeltacht area of An Fálcarrach in Donegal. Two are currently three with the addition of Jonny Tennant on bouzouki, bass, bodhran and vox.
Alison and Isabel met in the summer of 2002 and forged a friendship and musical partnership that has been bearing fruit since 2006 with the release on Osmosys Records of their first album, Mise agus Ise (myself and herself). Together the pair wrote, arranged and produced this personal body of work, with the help of musician friends, near and far, and their engineer and co-producer Al Cowan. London-based photographer and friend Ken Garland captured them on film during a flying visit to Dublin.
The songs are a collection covering seminal events in Alison's life from her childhood to the many formative years spent outside Ireland, and her eventual return to her homeland in 2001. Isabel's tunes are similarly autobiographical, including two dedicated to her parents.www.sharronkraus.com

On Songs of Love and Loss, Sharron Kraus accentuates the strong literary sensibility in the tradition of English "dark folk" (the trunk of the tree on which Appalachian murder ballads are the leaves) with stunning results. Kraus continues the work of a historical continuum that began centuries ago and has seen traditional champions in Shirley Collins, the Waterson and Carthy families, and more recently in the work of Alasdair Roberts, NickCave, and David Tibet. ... With Songs of Love and Loss, Sharron Kraus has offered a revival in the best sense of the word. It is not just a rehashing of old ideas, rather a new creation built on founding principles. At base, it is timeless music expressing universal joy and sorrow with vivid imagery and sensitive accompaniment. Far more than its deceptively modest title suggests.www.myspace.com/thingumajigsaw
Thinguma*jigsaw’s debut album (awakeinwhitechapel) has been released by DesertedVillage. It will also be on sale at this gig. Their actual album launch takes place in the Lower Deck on July 29th, before they leave Dublin for Norway.
Two elusive, exceptional, pivotal personalities - cunningly spinning a web of flamboyant brouhahas within the idiom of their own device: charming, clever, generous, sinister splatterfolk.
Splatterfolk combines elements of traditional Irish/British/American folk with contemporary art music, and spices it up with lyrical and musical components usually associated with horrorfilms, experimental theatre and modernistic poetry. There is also an abundance of filmatic and popcultural references. It's the new revolution within the folk music - scene of today, and you will find no finer exponents of this subversive art than Thinguma*jigSaw.
