Hot Press Lockdown Sessions' Y&E Series: Weekend Line-Up Revealed

We're delighted to announce our weekend line-up for the Hot Press Lockdown Sessions' Y&E Series – with performances going live on the Hot Press Instagram at 7.30pm every night!

The Y&E Series continues to shine a light on some of the best new and emerging talent that Ireland has to offer in 2020 – with a brilliant selection acts joining Hot Press on Instagram every night for special live-streamed performances.

Take a look at the upcoming line-up below:

Friday, November 27: Caoilian Sherlock

Since cutting his teeth in bands like The Shaker Hymn, Cork musician Caoilian Sherlock has emerged as one of the most captivatingly original alternative-pop artists in the country. Last month, he made his highly anticipated return with 'Sucker For Love' – an anti-romance pop track with flavours of The Divine Comedy and Spoon.

Saturday, November 28: Rachel Mae Hannon

Monaghan-born artist Rachel Mae Hannon has rapidly established herself as a powerful new alt-pop talent on the Irish scene, with the release of her acclaimed debut single 'Be In Love' earlier this year – which has since clocked up over 100,000 streams on Spotify. Drawing influence from the likes of Hiatus Kaiyote, Amber Mark, London Grammar and Tom Misch, Rachel skilfully blends the boundaries between pop and neo-soul.

Sunday, November 29: Elaine Malone

Cork-based psychedelic-folk musician Elaine Malone, famed for her haunting voice and poetic lyricism, released her acclaimed debut EP, Land, in 2018. As well as her lauded solo projects, she's also known for her work with HEX, Mantua, Land Crabs and Soft Focus.

Other confirmed acts coming up include Siights, Michelle Grimes and George Hutton. Stay tuned to hotpress.com for more Y&E Series news!

Each performance on the Y&E Series, supported by the Department of Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, streams live on the Hot Press Instagram (@hotpressmagazine) at 7.30pm every night.
