Shark School

Shark School are a female-fronted abstract garage band based in Galway City. Beginning in June of 2023, they have quickly made a name for themselves playing with bands such as NewDad, The Love Buzz, Elaine Malone and many more, most recently playing Whelan’s Ones to Watch (even though they are Sharks to watch). They are known for their energetic sets, sarcastic wit and party vibes. Most recently they are known for making an elderly man levitate at their set for Whelans One to Watch…

Hy:Ly

HY:LY is one of the most intriguing new artists to emerge in UK/Ireland dance and electronic for years. A modern siren causing a ripple effect throughout the Irish music landscape. Sinéad O’Connor meets Cyberpunk

A multi-instrumentalist with serious production and vocal hops, her live sets are to be seen to be believed. With a love for creating mood & intensity through her music and live performances, crafting a swirling mix of analogue electronica, alternative vocals, noises & rhythms create a genuinely intense and hypnotic abstract melting pot of energy.

Unencumbered by tradition or genre, painting tales so vivid & relatable she has become a folk hero for a certain breed of sensitive raver. Taking every measure to envelop her audience at every twist & turn.

There’s even traces of Icelandic titan Bjork, musical DNA that came to life after she began playing. 

The Vigilante Cannibal Nun

Maggie Murtagh AKA The Vigilante Cannibal Nun is the brainchild of artist, screenwriter, filmmaker, and performer, Carol Murphy, who initially wrote and performed her story in verse as a series of films that she shot on her mobile phone, in her bedroom, and launched online at the beginning of 2022 as The Body & Blood. 

 The Body & Blood is a comedy horror about Maggie Murtagh, an Irish country girl who transmogrifies into The Vigilante Cannibal Nun during The Famine after the death of her family. She steals from the rich to give to the starving poor. She eats the colonizers; becomes an addict; and destroys her soul only to discover that she is the living dead.

Cloakroom Q

South Down 4 Piece Power Trio Cloakroom Q. are a music band from South Down, who are known for their dynamic tension, silly songs and handsome members, haha yeah right on!
