Gaze from the crowd as Irish band SILK bring to a night of raw emotion and pure energy. For fans of Nothing, Whirr, My Bloody Valentine & Crush. Auralux is the highly anticipated debut mini-album from Irish shoegazers, Silk. Michael Smyth, songwriter/guitarist of the acclaimed but now defunct band Virgins, is the sole contributor to the project. Taking on responsibilities for all the songwriting, performance and recording, gives the project intense personal meaning for Michael. Michael says, There is no beauty in perfection, it feels fake and manufactured to me. I want the record to feel real, so this is the sound of visceral self-expression. 2025 saw the release of three highly successful singles and Irish tours, including festival appearances at GazeFest supporting Whitelands and Sweet Sweet Noise. Lead single of the album Clementine released earlier this year, which found Silk push into darker and more abrasive territory, leaning hard into texture and density. Auralux covers a wide range of sonic territory over its 6 tracks; celestial and euphoric guitars dove tail with impossibly thick crushing fuzz, while cascading reverse reverbs melt into one another. Lyrically the mini-album moves between themes of mortality, memory, loss, love and time. Auralux is catharsis via volume and reverb. Auralux, is released May 7th by Blowtorch Records (IRE/vinyl) and Shoredive Records (UK/CD).

Mahendra's musical journey began at a piano bench in South London, guided by his mother's encouragement and early classical training. But it wasn't long before he veered off the traditional path - drawn deeply into the world of jazz, soul, and R&B. In 2024, he opened for US soul sensation Jarrod Lawson on his UK tour, before supporting Death Row Records artist October London on his sold-out UK run in 2025. Later that year, he joined legendary soul group The Stylistics on their 24-date UK tour, performing to audiences across the country. Most recently, in February 2026, Stefan supported Joss Stone on her US West Coast tour - his biggest milestone to date.

With a stellar career spanning two decades as the leader of Hollerado and a 1/4 of supergroup Anyway Gang, Menno Versteeg is by no means a stranger to the stage and the airwaves. With literally thousands of shows in over twenty countries, ten Top 10 singles, one Gold Record and one #1 Alternative Single, Versteeg has seen and done his fair share, but Why We Run marks the first time he's releasing music under his own. Over the course of Why We Run's 12 songs, Versteeg is at his lyrical best and most musically diverse. With the soft indie folk of debut single "Fish Out Of Water" featuring Doug Paisley, the alt-country rambunctiousness of "Change A Tire" or the contemplative album closer "A Light On In You", Versteeg channels his wide musical knowledge and pulls from every corner of his impressive career. The result is a record that is an artist at his most honest, most vulnerable and most exciting, twenty years in. Presented by Folklore Sessions This is an 18+ event

Scott Lavene is a British singer-songwriter and storyteller whose work blends kitchen-sink realism with dark humour, poetic grit, and a distinctly English sense of place. Emerging from Essex, Lavene has carved out a niche as a chronicler of the overlooked; his songs populated by down-and-outs, late-night wanderers, and small-town dreamers. Before his music career gained traction, Lavene spent years working a range of everyday jobs, experiences that would later inform the unvarnished authenticity of his lyrics. His songs often feel like short stories set to music, delivered in a conversational, almost spoken-word style that sits somewhere between indie folk and post-punk. Lavene first began to gather attention in the late 2010s with early releases that showcased his knack for vivid character sketches and bleakly comic observation. His debut album Broke (2019) introduced listeners to his stark, narrative-driven songwriting, earning praise for its honesty and literary quality. Follow-up records such as Milk City Sweethearts (2021) and Disneyland in Dagenham (2023) expanded his reputation, refining his sound while maintaining the raw emotional core that defines his work. His music is often compared to a lineage of British storytellers, Ian Dury, Elvis Costello, John Cooper Clarke, Jarvis Cocker and Robyn Hitchcock but, even so, Lavene's voice remains singular. He has a gift for balancing melancholy with wit, finding beauty and absurdity in the mundane corners of modern life. On stage, Lavene's performances are intimate and magnetic, driven as much by his narrative delivery as by melody. Whether backed by a full band or performing solo, he creates a sense of closeness that draws audiences into his world. Last year's record, Cars, Buses, Bedsits and Shops was a classic, full of Essex, East End poetry, and classic ballads, the 4th solo album to add his growing, cult catalogue. The album tour was extensive, starting with an astounding show at End of The Road in August 2025, then on through the autumn and winter, finishing off in early February, with many of the shows sold out. After a move across country back to the south east where he grew up and then some time setting up his analogue studio, Milk City Studios, Scott is back with another tour, Acoustic Songs and Stories, a run of intimate shows in some incredible venues across the UK and Europe. In 2026, Scott will be playing the best of his four solo albums as well as some new material and stories, bringing the banter along with two beautiful vintage acoustic guitars. Scott continues to build a loyal following, not through chart dominance but through the strength of his songwriting and stage shows - honest, unsettling, and deeply human, bringing us into the original landscapes he creates onstage. scott-lavene.com

Formerly one half of folk-pop duo Hudson Taylor (30 million Spotify streams, a Number 1 Irish album, stages with The Rolling Stones, Hozier, and George Ezra), Harry is now forging a solo path rooted in honest, unguarded songwriting. Based between Dublin and Berlin, his new material sits at the crossroads of indie rock, folk, and pop, drawing on themes of personal transformation and relationships. Written, performed and self-produced by Harry, and mixed by Paul Carr, Hiding From Nature is his most personal work to date: the sound of an artist who has stopped performing a version of himself and started making the record he’s always wanted to make. He’s joined on stage by Seraphina Taylor, whose backing vocals and multi-instrumental work give the live show its quiet magic.

Noah writes his own brand of country music and has released two original albums that have received critical acclaim.

It's hard not to feel seen by Lemoncello, a band whose live performances and recordings shimmer with the tones of modern Ireland. Their upcoming release, Perfect Place, evolves from the band's folk-soaked roots and confidently explores intricate new shapes. Marking a bold new chapter for singer-songwriter Laura Quirke and cellist-arranger Claire Kinsella, Perfect Place is imbued with assuredness, encompassing full band recordings that weave synths and electronic percussion into the band's staple organic sound. Through an intimate and devastatingly personal style of storytelling, the new album reflects upon the the modern tension between togetherness and alienation & the chaos of human nature with radical acceptance and compassion. Perfect Place follows on from the band's debut self-titled record, which received critical acclaim from BBC 6 Music, Clash, The Line Of Best Fit. Described as direct and refreshing, cathartic by critics at Mojo and RNR, the duo speak to listeners in the way that an ex or an old friend might cultivating a sense of consolation that leaves audiences forgetting there's a world outside of the venue. Lemoncello's body of work is equally familiar and confronting, driven by the palpable chemistry of a long-term friendship.

London based songsmith and former Sunday Times ‘Breaking Act’ Sam Brookes is still one of the UK alt-folk’s best kept secrets. His acclaimed 2014 album Kairos was tipped by The Independent for a Mercury Prize nomination, received support from the likes of Dermot O’Leary on BBC Radio 2. With over 5 million plays on Spotify, it is fair to say that those who know his music, love his music….and those who don’t, are about to. Brookes’ new single My Girls Drinks Coffee, his first for over two years, marks an exciting shift in the Sam Brookes sound. Already well known as an idiosyncratic singer-songwriter, Sam challenged himself to expand his sonic pallet, spending a few years out the game gigging and experimenting with new material. The end result is an immediate and ethereal work of chic melancholy, built on synthesised textures that devilishly underpin his soaring signature vocal.

Unbelievable Truth are a British rock band, led by Andy Yorke, with Nigel Powell, Jason Moulster, and Jim Crosskey. Their sound has been described as "slow, melancholy, country-tinged ballads, wrapped in a soft blanket of acoustic guitars and minor chords".

Jamie McIntyres rise from busking on the streets of Galway city to stages across Ireland and the UK is one of Irelands latest growing success stories. Writing since the young age of 15, McIntyres musical journey began on Shop Street, busking during his college years. His early traction on social media helped to build a loyal following where he caught the eye of Gavin James who selected McIntyre to join him as support in Paris on his European tour as part of Threes City Stages initiative to find up and coming grassroots musicians and champion them. That groundwork paid off in the summer of 2024 when McIntyre released Over Galway Town, a viral hit garnering over 50 million views on TikTok and has since amassed over 7.5 million streams on Spotify, and sitting alongside some of the worlds biggest artists in the viral charts, reaching listeners from across the globe. That summer, McIntyre had the opportunity to work with Imelda May and performed at Electric Picnic as an add on to his Three City Stages experience, having impressed on his initial appearances with Gavin James. Sell-out support shows followed with Liverpool songwriter Jamie Webster at 3Olympia in Dublin and The Telegraph Building in Belfast, showcasing he was more than capable of holding his own on bigger stages. Last year saw McIntyre take his first steps as a headline artist, selling out shows in Dublin, Limerick and his hometown of Galway on his debut Irish tour. His EP Chapter 23 continued to grow his fanbase, with tracks West is Home and Grá quickly becoming live favourites and amassing over 250,000 streams in their first week alone (now sitting at over 2.3 million streams each). The For Folks Sake EP followed in October, accompanied by a sold-out Irish and UK tour that underlined just how quickly his audience has grown and introduced the world to arguably his most popular song to date, Melbourne a tried and tested story about love lost to the far side of the world. 2026 has continued that trajectory honing his live show across a sold out ten-date regional Irish tour and growing that UK presence with headline shows at The Camden in London and King Tuts in Glasgow while joining Florida beach-folk act The 502s across an eight-date UK and Ireland tour, including shows at Vicar Street in Dublin and The Limelight in Belfast, all sandwiched between new songs 17 Again and Off to America. McIntyre is one of the most exciting independent voices to emerge from Ireland in years. His songs are relatable and driven through lived experience and a Grá for home, familiar to those having had to watch as their loved ones leave for a new experience across the world and a comfort for those who are living it. If this is a breakthrough year for the Galway songwriter, by any measure, 2026 could be the year it becomes something more than a breakthrough. An artist built on authenticity, community and the kind of songwriting that turns strangers into sing-along crowds and songs into anthems for a new generation.

Calvin Love is a Canadian singer-songwriter whose music lingers in the shadows of nostalgia and noir. With a signature croon and a sound that fuses psych-folk, cinematic longing, and romanticism, he’s built a world both vintage and strangely timeless. The press has called his work “a crestfallen soundtrack of near-escape... like Chris Isaak trapped in a David Lynch film.” An artist of quiet intensity and prolific output, Love has carved a singular space on the fringes of indie music - shaped by introspection, lyrical depth, and a restless DIY spirit. Influenced by the pulse of rock ’n’ roll and the bruised glamour of 1980s balladeers, he’s crafted a sonic universe entirely his own. Known for live shows that blur the line between concert and dream sequence, Love approaches each song like a method actor - dissolving the boundary between persona and performance with slow-burning precision. Whether standing alone with a 12-string guitar or fronting a seven-piece ensemble, his performances radiate a magnetic stillness: immersive, nuanced, and emotionally resonant. With multiple albums and international tours behind him, Calvin Love has spent the last decade quietly shaping one of the most distinct and haunting voices on the outer edges of indie music.

ELI Tour's his album 'Dork Mode Raw'. Big vocals, full band. Dork Mode RAW is my follow up album. I always wanted to do an acoustic version of my first Album. I've put everything into it, with a couple of bonus tracks too. Every weird, honest, uncomfortable, beautiful thing I couldn't say when I was younger. This is going to be a special celebration. Full band, and I want it to be loud and I want it to be close. 70 people in a room. That's it. ELI is a London singer-songwriter whose voice has been stopping strangers in their tracks since a piano session of a song called 15 And Alive at St. Pancras went viral and never really stopped. Expect big pop vocals over production that pulls from Prince, The 1975 and places less expected, with writing that deals in identity, queerness, growing up hiding and the slow work of not doing that anymore. He's been building a live reputation across London and Brighton, picked up a Mahogany session, and taken his audience from a few hundred to tens of thousands entirely on his own terms and you are still amongst the first to discover him. Dork Mode RAW is the album. It arrives with a full band in a 70 -capacity room in Brighton, which is exactly the kind of night where you'll be telling people you were there. Advised to purchase early with his previous show at The Folklore Rooms selling out in advance. Presented by Folklore Sessions This is an 18+ event

David Coomber takes time off from being a multiple south coast band mainstay in a rare solo appearance with his unaffected, reflective, gently grooving songs.

Folklore Sessions Presents Lily Lyons \+ Essy Sparrow 22nd July £13adv The Folklore Rooms 18+ For Lily Lyons, music feels like hope - or perhaps, possibility. Growing up split between London and Somerset, making weekly eight hour drives across the country between the base she knew with her mother and the faraway town her father had left for, she remembers the comfort of the car stereo on the open road. As she grew older, struggling to fully realise herself in the world and to pick apart the often knotty and complicated relationships that had formed around her, music was the thing that offered a window to an alternative. Tour support to Ben Howard, Roo Panes, Willy Mason and recently back from an European tour with Charlie Cunningham.

Folklore Sessions Presents Nighttime + Support 11th August The Folklore Rooms £13.50adv 18+ A gift for lovers of 60s folk and crystalline, song-y psychedelia, Nighttime aka Eva Louise Goodman, delivers fluent, buoyant compositions that run the gamut of psych-pop, girl group, and Americana. Nighttime's third full length album, Keeper Is The Heart, engineered and co-produced by Florist's Rick Spataro, was released on Ba Da Bing! Records in 2023. Lauded by Bandcamp as Best New Music, they called the record "a mystical tapestry of psychedelic folk." Nighttime reaches deep into the essence of musicians such as Vashti Bunyan, Sibylle Baier and Pentangle, breaking down the decades into a sound thoroughly and bizarrely modern. Nighttime glides effortlessly between two worlds, letting folk chants of near-medieval purity morph into dark-toned 1960s-flavored Spector-esque rock. \- Jennifer Kelly, Dusted Magazine Eva Louise Goodman has the air of someone who creates art for herself...
