Hot for 2019 Irish Acts: Kitt Philippa

“Impressive is too weak a word,” gushed Hozier about Kitt Philippa’s song ‘Hosana’, and we’re in full agreement with the Irish megastar. Over the last few years they've become one of the North’s most critically acclaimed artists, and many expect the Co. Armagh multi-instrumentalist to “do a James Blake” sooner rather than later. Coming from a classical music background, they've been favourably compared to Jeff Buckley, and ventured to London and Berlin for well-received gigs.

HEAR: ‘Hosana’.
