Pete Seeger, Martin Carthy, The Watersons. Learning from such fine singers he
started to play gigs in nearby folk clubs. The Irish folk scene was just
developing at that time (1960's) and over the last 40 years he has become

Cat Malojian....
Cat Malojian are a pair of musical missionaries from Lurgan, (Co.
Armagh) preaching their heart-rending gospel of folk, country and Americana.
Their technical finesse is astounding while utilising acoustic guitar and
banjo. The stories they have to tell are wondrous and redolent, gentle lyricism
fostering a real sense of nostalgia, of a grasping for something that is
irrevocably lost. There are tales of drowning, of being god forsaken, of
drinking moonshine and of getting high, of bursting life's bubbles and plumbing
despair's depths. “Cat Malojian are unquestionably mighty." www.myspace.com/catmalojan. Support by Baz
McSherry....

Paul Hourican....
Paul
Hourican’s musical palette eloquently spans the spectrum from boldly convincing
rock anthems to delicately heartfelt, magnificently crafted tunes the music
world has compared to those of Ryan Adams and David Gray. The critics have
unanimously proclaimed that Hourican is indeed that rare artist who posses such
natural talent he can pull off the rock, folk, and even pop genres
wholeheartedly and with undeniable conviction. "Catchy pop fare and grungy
guitar blues…tunes to suit anyone’s ever-changing mood…
Just when you think
Hourican has exhausted his palette, he shows another facet to his talent - and
brings you even deeper under his spell." ****
