Songlines accepting applications for ‘Later with Jools’ style event

July 8, 2014

The first event Songlinescoming on Saturday 20th Sept 2014 and following by another in December 2014.

A number of singer-songwriters are invited to perform their own compositions in front of a listening audience at The Model, Sligo.

Songlines was established in Dec 2012 by Miles Graham with the help of Dervish front woman, Cathy Jordan who hosted the very first event. Its aim is to to provide a platform for the talented songwriters in the northwest of Ireland and beyond, to perform in a listening environment, showcasing their songwriting ability.

Format:

  • The format of the event is in a one room environment, consisting of 3-4 small stages in a circle, with a host introducing a number of singer-songwriters in rotation (a ‘Later with Jools’ type stage setup). The talent and standard has been to the highest level and in previous nights it has produced international bloggers sharing their experience online with Failte Ireland and social media sites.

Venue:

A venue that is quickly becoming the creative hub of the northwest and is the perfect match for this event, with its rich art history embedded in the walls and surroundings. (See above link for more)
