Big Monster Love is a gin soaked folky popster. He released his debut album 'Game Over' in February 2011 via Popical Island/Abomination Records to minimal critical acclaim. His songs are influenced by such past masters as the Dubliners, Whipping Boy, The Eels and Tom Waits. He is known to put on an entertaining show, plying the audience with sweaty ballads about broken dreams and those departed.

Captain A is an experimental folk band based in Letterkenny. Guitar, harp, keys and male/female dueting vocals, a pastoral, gentle psychedelic sound that evokes Irish folk, classical and 60′s folk. Part Chieftains, part Incredible String band, part Joanna Newsom, and holding an intangible misty quality that could only originate from Donegal.

Jeroen of the Walpurgis family will play a rare acoustic set. Walpurgis Family is an indie chamber pop trio from Dublin mixing influences of everyday life with a hint of dreamy idealism. The debut album ‘Midsummer Party’ was released in May 2010 via the DIY pop collective Popical Island, and contains quiet songs about moving to other countries, the shower, the kitchen, public transportation and even about a mysterious island where all children are happy.
