Katriona Gilmore & Jamie Roberts
Kat (ex Tiny Tin Lady, still with Rosie Doonan Band and GMO) and Jamie (also in Kerfuffle) need very little introduction after their appearance here at last year's festival. This hard working couple released their album "Shadows and Half Light" to rave reviews, and "wow" audiences wherever they appear. Don't be surprised to see Kat in one of her other musical guises during the festival.

Anna Shannon
Scarborough born Anna was born into a richly musical family with her grandfather being a concert pianist and her mother a jazz singer. It is then no surprise then that she became a multi-instrumentalist. To quote Vin Garbutt " Twice in the last few months I have had the honour of sharing the stage with Anna Shannon. She's a truly fine multi-instrumentalist, a great singer and as far as I am concerned, a major song writing talent. The clubs and festivals are yearning for what she has to offer"
