City Of Song Festival 2008

Hot on the heels of the unveiling of This Ain't No Picnic 2008, We are proud to announce our involvement in the City of Song Festival 2008.

City of Song 2008 takes place between Friday 26th and Sunday 28th September in our new home base of Derry, Northern Ireland. The festival is a celebration of Derry's status as the cultural capital of Northern Ireland and as a city full of music.

City of Song 2008 will showcase a wide range of musical talent from a vast array of genres, ranging from Choral concerts to the best in emerging talent in the more familiar genres(to us at least) of Alternative rock and Indie.

As part of the festival we will be presenting a series of Smalltown America showcase events.

As part of the Smalltown America showcase events, we are proud to announce the first Irish appearances for Alan MX and The Young Playthings. Alan and The Playthings will also be joined on the showcase by a selection of bands yet to be announced - stay tuned for details!

As well as the showcase events, we are also curating the City of Song "Tennent's Trail". The trail will see a number of acts within an acoustic/stripped back setting, performing in a series of different venues across the city over the course of the weekend. We can confirm the following acts for the trail;
