Her songs are rooted in early American folk-blues as well as classical art song and Tin Pan Alley. She has crafted a singular body of work. Her music carries the soul of old folk songs\, operatic hymns\, and blues\, yet moves freely\, like a dream half-remembered. Born in the Mountain West\, she sang in a log cabin church as a girl before setting out on the road\, through Chicago’s back rooms to Spanish countryside villages and in and out of Nashville\, she has shaped a body of song that mirrors her wandering heart. Playing guitar\, piano/organ\, harp\, or autoharp\, Foster moves effortlessly between structure and spontaneity. Her performances feel both intimate and otherworldly\, drawing listeners into a world uniquely her own. A poet and visual artist as well as musician\, her playful ink pieces expand upon lyrical themes of her songs. \n‘A dreamily unique talent’ – The Guardian \nSupport from Perlee:\n‘Perlee are one of the country’s most singular talents.’ – The Thin Air \nPerlee are Cormac O’Keeffe and Saramai Leech. They are from County Meath\, Ireland\, and met through the musical scene in their town. They were in other bands before they began to collaborate and work as a duo. After almost a decade in Berlin they are currently based in Sligo. \nPerlee’s music ebbs and flows between dream pop and slow core in the vein of the Cocteau Twins\, Low and Beach House. So far they have released 2 E.P.s & an L.P. to excellent critical reception and radio play across Germany\, Ireland\, the U.S. and more. The couple\, who originally met through the DIY scene in their hometown of Navan\, formed Perlee whilst living in a small house in the farmer’s quarters of a large stately home\, surrounded by huge trees\, peacocks and farm dogs. The house was so remote that they were able to spend their evenings playing loud music late into the night. In 2018\, the pair moved to Berlin and quickly found a small flat in an old industrial part of Berlin called Moabit. They had the good fortune\, through friends\, of finding a rehearsal space on the grounds of an old hospital around the corner and began developing the sound they had first struck upon while living in the remote Irish countryside. In the early days\, the couple enjoyed the many spaces the city provided in which to showcase their music. They played hundreds of shows; in smoky bars\, house concerts and clubs until the pandemic hit. Their debut album Speaking From Other Rooms was released in April 2023 to rave reviews and sold out shows. In 2024 Perlee went into the studio to record their next record and after relocating to Ireland from Berlin\, they are currently mixing this sophomore album in Sligo.

SUMMARY:Josephine Foster
DESCRIPTION:Abhainn Studio & October Nights are thrilled to welcome the acclaimed US singer Josephine Foster to Enniscrone\, as part of an Irish tour. \nJosephine Foster (b. 1974) is a North American artist celebrated as a singer\, multi-instrumentalist\, and composer. Her voice seems to drift from another time. Her music carries the soul of old folk songs\, operatic hymns\, and blues\, yet moves freely\, like a dream half-remembered. \nBorn in Colorado\, she sang in a log cabin church as a girl before setting out on the road\, collecting songs and stories along the way. In her twenties\, Foster immersed herself in Chicago’s experimental rock and free jazz scene\, shedding remnants of her early operatic ambitions. A transatlantic move followed\, leading her to rural Spain\, where she spent over a decade honing her craft. \nLater\, stints in Nashville’s recording studios further shaped her prolific career\, resulting in a rich tapestry of solo and band albums. Whether on stage or in the studio\, she has shaped a body of song that mirrors her wandering heart—restless\, soulful\, and unbound. \nPlaying guitar\, piano/organ\, harp\, and autoharp\, Foster moves effortlessly between structure and spontaneity. Her performances feel both intimate and otherworldly\, drawing listeners into a world uniquely her own. \nPress \n‘Domestic Sphere’ album review 9/10 ALBUM OF THE WEEK Loud & Quiet \n“You could be forgiven for thinking that Josephine Foster’s quavering\, sepia-tinted voice is something beamed in from another age. It conjures up images of an older southern woman\, sitting on the porch of a clapboard shack in the years before the civil war\, absent-mindedly singing ancient folksongs”. The Guardian \n‘Her old-timey aesthetic and vocal style hovers somewhere between opera and folk\, earthy and ethereal. Her music is cultivated across a broad range of genres from spirituals\, hymns and lullabies to rhythmic folk and country’ The Wire \nWatch/ Listen \nChild of God \nHaunted House \nJosephine Foster interview \nSocial Media \nJosephine Foster Instagram \nFire Records \nAbhainn Studio Instagram \nOctober Nights Instagram \nIrish Tour 2025 \nJune 6th / Bello Bar\, Dublin (Presented by Foggy Notions) \nJune 7th / Abhainn Studio\, Enniscrone\, Co Sligo \nJune 8th / Black Box\, Belfast (Presented by Moving On Music) \n(Photo by Javier G.

SUMMARY:Polyphonic Summer | Mike Absolum at Abhainn Gallery Enniscrone
DESCRIPTION:Abhainn Gallery Enniscrone Co. Sligo is pleased to present “Polyphonic summer”. An exhibition of paintings and prints by Mike Absolum spanning two decades\, curated by Ann Conmy. The Exhibition opens 6th June and runs until the 19th July. Wine Reception on Friday the 6th June at 6pm\, all are welcome. \nBorn in 1940\, Mike Absalom remembers a Messerschmitt 109 strafing the seafront at Torquay during World War II. That image of airborne menace would later echo in his theatrical performances\, where he detonated stage pyrotechnics while performing as a folk singer across Ireland and the UK in the 1970s. At Trinity College Dublin\, he recalls the old ceiling shaking loose into clouds of black dust—a literal crumbling of order that delighted him. \nA scholar of Arabic at Oxford\, a folk singer-songwriter\, harpist\, poet\, puppeteer\, and painter\, Absalom has long moved between worlds.\nIt wasn’t until later in life\, after relocating from British Columbia to Mayo\, that he discovered through genealogical research that he was half Irish. His relationship to place\, home and becoming are central themes in this body of work. \nAbsalom’s painted compositions are vibrant\, rhythmic\, and full of motion -where things are made and unmade with absurdist logic. The paintings use non naturalistic hues to communicate and extract character and emotion. The panoptic view\, often spinning\, invites the audience into a visual polyphony\, where stories of connection and disconnection reveal and critique the hero’s journey. \nThe nude portraits reveal much about the characters of the female sitters and their relationships to the artist through expressions of both indifference and vulnerability. The male and female gaze meet each other in “Blue woman” and neither one relents. \nA parade of cow’s buttocks displayed centrally to the viewer is hallmark Absolom. Sheets blowing furiously on the clothesline\, an artist who has a reverence for ordinary details however unflattering. \nHis lino cuts and dry point etchings present scenes balancing somewhere between the chaotic and mythic divine. Carved lines are strong imposing gestures seamless and fluid in the way they deal with image making. The ontology of the haunted is present often; in the two characters staring out towards Whitby pier seemingly forever. In the collision of animals mythic and real\,with humans. There is a clawing back of the undergrowth\, a return to the pre-verbal: a visionary clash with the shadow as it is acknowledged. \nThe scene of Dugort\, Achill\, Mayo with rolling waves and the black overbearing summit to Slievemore\, captures a quality of animus in this etched depiction. As with much of his work\, everything pulses with life\, memory and motion. \nAt the centre of Polyphonic Summer is a meditation:\nAre memories central to identity? \nImages come together of land and body\, stories are gleaned through these paintings and etchings. the past and present can exist in both places which acts as a totem of belonging. \nMike has shown his work extensively in Ireland England\, Wales\, Northern Ireland\, also in China. \nWords by Ann Conmy

SUMMARY:Is Mise Éire Eile: I am another Ireland
DESCRIPTION:Crooked House Theatre Company Presents: \nIs Mise Éire Eile: I am another Ireland \nThe true story of a community grappling with itself after the arrival of 100 international protection applicants. \nConceived and Directed by Emily B Ditkovski \nWritten by Yassine Barkaoui\, Serena Giordanengo\, and Members of Crooked House Theatre Company \nOn a rainy evening in autumn 2023 the staff of a small guesthouse in Newbridge prepared to welcome 100 international protection applicants.
