17-year-old Derry songwriter SOAK has just released a new EP, ‘Blud’. Born in Belfast but raised in Derry, SOAK offers vivid proof that age does not define artistic maturity. Bridie Mons-Watson has spent the last two years splitting time between her studies, the local skate-park, and her songwriting. There was significant acclaim for 2012’s ‘Sea Creatures’, which saw her offered slots at Glastonbury and Other Voices, support Tegan & Sara on tour, and complete a Biology GCSE moments after playing the City of Culture launch for Derry. On ‘Blud’ SOAK accelerates her ascent from raw talent into a unique artistic voice, Bridie also played every instrument on ‘Blud’ herself (bar the bass). She has recently supported CVRCHES and George Ezra.
SOAK will be supported by Amano Miura.

The five-piece Hermitage Green formed in July 2010 in what started out as a spontaneous jam session between friends and soon developed in to a strong acoustic outfit with an original sound for which the band have credited their contrasting musical tastes.Hermitage Green have spent the last couple of years touring relentlessly, winning over legions of fans and selling out shows in Ireland, the UK and Australia. Incendiary live performances and a curious arrangement of instruments help give Hermitage Green their distinctive live sound. The band released their debut EP, ‘The Gathering’ in September 2012, rocketing straight into number 1 in the iTunes chart. The band followed this success with tours of France, the UK, the Middle East, South Africa and the US. Seeing Hermitage Green live, you can expect hard-hitting rhythm sections driven by the tribal combination of bodhrán and djembe, rhythmic guitar lines with dobro meolodies and soaring four-part vocal harmonies. Their debut album - 'Live At Whelans' was released in November 2013.
