Live Acts announced so far

God Knows 1pm
Our first live performance from Shannon native God Knows celebrates the
release of his brand new album with an intimate person in store.
Fusing African sentiments and rhythms from Zimbabwe and the surrounding
Irish landscape, his debut LP A Future Of The Past showcases his immense
skill with storytelling and crafting an ever-changing landscape through verse.
We cannot wait for him to share some of his own stories on the 18th, along
with a chat AND we will have some copies of the LP available - you definitely
don't want to sleep on these!

First Class Rebel 2:30pm
The creative vision of Irish musician Ian Burke, First Class Rebel is a one-
man force — writing, performing, and shaping a towering wall of sound built
from layered guitars, hypnotic rhythm, and distortion that feels both cinematic
and confrontational.
Debut single Shadows Fade introduced First Class Rebel's shadowy intensity,
while follow-up Alive expanded the vision into a euphoric, rising surge of
sound — earning strong press support, national airplay and signalling an
artist on the ascent. Now, the third single Control raises the stakes again.
Brash, punchy and unflinching, it drives forward with relentless urgency
before exploding into an arms-outstretched anthemic crescendo.
First Class Rebel isn't simply building a catalogue - he's building
MOMENTUM.

Irish Wonders 5:30pm
Hailing from Dublin but brings creativity and flair from all over Europe.
Irish Wonders; an electronic trio comprised of Leonardo Biagini, Brian Doyle
and Alina Troianenko, immerse themselves heavily in their craft, operating
from their HQ @unit.twozero - their releases are available on Beatport and
other streaming platforms
The results are transcendent and clearly influenced by a range of genres,
including ambient, trance and electronica.
They undeniably conjure a strong image of the surrounding Irish landscape in
their music and we CANNOT WAIT to hear them share their sounds on
Record Store Day this April 18th.
Don’t miss out on this fantastic, family friendly day and it’s all free
