MEET THE ACTS
THE WHITE HORSE GUITAR CLUB
Friday 20th August • Doors 7pm - Show 8pm
Ballincollig Regional Park
The White Horse Guitar Club is an eleven piece guitar group which started out at The White Horse music venue in Ballincollig, interpreting songs of the Americana/Roots songbook. The band evolved from an open club environment into a fully-fledged musical touring group of friends over the past 5 years. A passionate bunch from widely varying backgrounds, bound by a common love of playing guitar and singing music that is deeply rooted in the fine tradition of songwriting that flourishes in the Southern states of America, particularly in Kentucky & Tennessee where the Scots/Irish influence is strong. The group have proudly interpreted the songs of John Prine, Darrell Scott, Tim O’Brien, Buddy Miller, Townes Van Zandt, Willie Nelson.
THE FRANK & WALTERS

Maura & Emma both will showcase music from their recently released albums on the brand new Sliabh Luachra label
LORRAINE NASH
Saturday 21st August • Doors 7pm - Show 8pm. Ballinlough Park
With the independent release of her debut EP ‘Wildflower’ last year, multi-instrumentalist Lorraine Nash quickly became one of the most played female artists on Irish radio. However, it was with her follow up single Winter Sun that she really announced herself, with the track being a regular on the playlists of several national stations. Her live-streamed set at Cork Opera House in December led to the Kerry singer-songwriter signing with FIFA Records with whom she has released the current track, Sing With Her, the first from her impending debut album.
JOHN SPILLANE
Saturday 21st August • Doors 7pm - Show 8pm. Ballinlough Park
John Spillane is a musician, songwriter, performer, recording artist, storyteller, poet and dreamer. Rooted in people, place and story, his music transports the listener and his live performances captivate audiences around the world. Inspired by his travels around Ireland, John recently released his new album ‘100 Snow White Horses’. The new songs on his first independent album in twenty years are full of poetry, Irish mythology and wonder.
STEVIE G PRESENTS

AbbiLee (Oluchi) is a young soul & RnB artist who shows great promise while 16 year old guitarist & producer Sam Healy is getting lots of attention following the release of his own 'Cherry Cola' EP as well as featuring on a number of collab tracks. Jena Keating is another newcomer making big waves with a slew of stunning singles in 2021. The multi-talented Blakkheart produces & sings on her own unique soul & electronic landscapes. King Koko and Minnie Marley bring attitude to the mic with everything from dancehall, rap, afro & drill and Meghan Murray, who recently finished studying here, returns to Cork to perform her own blend of soulful jazz & pop.
CANDY WARHOL
Saturday 28th August • Doors 7pm - Show 8pm. Fitzgerald's Park
Mockie Ah is a bonkers, eccentric, glittering, camp, queer, progressive, inclusive and loving family of performers and artists based in Cork. Ireland's biggest drag house and queer cabaret show was founded by Candy Warhol in August 2017 as a response to the lack of queer spaces in Cork City. The troupe are now coming into their fourth year. With an ever expanding lineup, the collective have gone from strength with regular national sell out cabaret shows, club nights, festival appearances and gigs in Amsterdam and Edinburgh. In late 2019 they were the subject of a morning pride special for Ireland AM for national broadcaster TV3 and in June 2021 a TV documentary, Kin Of Kweens, was broadcast on RTÉ.
