TESSIO is a singer-songwriter duo from Derry - Jude McCandless and Callum Feeney. We play guitar, sing close harmonies and write our own songs. Our main influences range from Simon and Garfunkel and The Everly Brothers to the La’s. Over the past few years we have supported bands such as the Hothouse Flowers & The 4 Of Us and played support in England for The Damn Truth as part of our mini tour last summer. At Stendhal Festival, a gig reviewed in Chordblossom by Martha Greer wrote “I was left in awe of the pair as they released a series of subtly effective songs that demonstrated a skill for songwriting way beyond their years.”

They are known for their energetic sets, sarcastic wit and party vibes. Most recently they are known for making an elderly man levitate at their set for Whelans One to Watch…

Next up on our roll call for the 7th is .music and absolute powerhouse we have been so excited to book her!
HY:LY is one of the most intriguing new artists to emerge in UK/Ireland dance and electronic for years. A modern siren causing a ripple effect throughout the Irish music landscape. Sinéad O’Connor meets Cyberpunk

A multi-instrumentalist with serious production and vocal hops, her live sets are to be seen to be believed. With a love for creating mood & intensity through her music and live performances, crafting a swirling mix of analogue electronica, alternative vocals, noises & rhythms create a genuinely intense and hypnotic abstract melting pot of energy.

Unencumbered by tradition or genre, painting tales so vivid & relatable she has become a folk hero for a certain breed of sensitive raver. Taking every measure to envelop her audience at every twist & turn.

There’s even traces of Icelandic titan Bjork, musical DNA that came to life after she began playing.

ft BBCRadio1, BBCIntroducing, MainStage AVA/Celtronic Festival. Currently part of Scratch My Progress talent development.

The Body & Blood is a comedy horror about Maggie Murtagh, an Irish country girl who transmogrifies into The Vigilante Cannibal Nun during The Famine after the death of her family. She steals from the rich to give to the starving poor. She eats the colonizers; becomes an addict; and destroys her soul only to discover that she is the living dead.
