Niamh McKinney is a singer-songwriter from Wicklow. Having kept notebooks of poetry since childhood, she didn't start writing songs until one day in 2015, when songs suddenly started pouring out. Unsure as to the nature of what she had composed during this first creative burst, a form of validation came a month later when she won the Allingham Songwriting Competition with one of the first songs she wrote.
      Poetically rich - both lyrically and melodically - her heart-rending songs draw on stories and life experience, captivating by way of their ethereal sense of urgency and foreboding.
     Niamh writes her songs a capella. Her musical partner and husband Stephen McKinney (who has previously played guitar and synths with prog rock fusion band Leo Drezden) then crafts evocative guitar accompaniment which interweaves seamlessly with the songs, complementing their haunting quality. The two are currently working on producing their debut album.


2022 is a reawakening for Belfast born artist Ben Cutler. The 13th of May marks the release of his opening single “Take The Bullet” which you can expect to hear an energetic blend of alternative rock with a prominent blues influence. Drawing inspiration from the likes of the Black Keys, Kaleo, Oasis and Sterephonics, it is the simple yet captivating, intense guitar melodies and memorable vocal hooks that fuse Ben’s distinct and massive rock ’n’ roll sound. This Summer will see Ben’s electrifying new music brought to life as he performs at various festivals north and south of Ireland. This is only the beginning of an exciting new venture for Ben Cutler with plenty to come in the foreseeable future.
