Also playing after the gig in the Balcony Bar:
The Travelling Billberets
Since they first got together in 1991 the Billberets are now significantly older. With age comes wisdom and some failing of the senses which might explain why they make so much noise "Turn it up I can’t hear me guitar". A few Billberets have moved on to other things but Gazza, Chuck and Rockin’ Bill are still hanging in there supported by a youthful driving rhythm section that sends a shiver down the spine.

Tickets: £25.00

Imelda May*

Jools Holland is excitable by nature, but when he spots a new artist who has what he considers “it,” his enthusiasm goes off the scale. To go by his reaction to Imelda May, she has “it” in spades. “I’ve got to have you on the show,” he told her after seeing her play live – and so, a couple of months ago, she duly found herself on “Later With Jools Holland,” wowing an audience who included Jeff Beck, Elbow and Roots Manuva. Beck, in fact, made a point of telling Holland that he was only there to see Imelda.

National TV exposure, a clutch of musician fans – not bad for an Irish newbie. But with respect to Jools and crew, it works both ways: Imelda got that “Later” boost, but “Later” can claim the kudos of discovering a talent who doesn’t sound like anyone else.
