If you are unable to attend, performance highlights of all acts are later streamed online across IMRO’s social media channels. In the past, acts such as Marc O’Reilly, Gavin James, Ailbhe Reddy, Mark Geary, Farah Elle, Bronagh Gallagher, Chasing Abbey, Wild Youth, Ryan O’Shaugnessy and Orla Gartland have all performed in the intimate venue.

Dave Costello, better known by his stage name DAY_S, has provided support for Dagny, Soulé, Jafaris, as well as supporting All Tvvins on their European Tour in March and has just under 1.5 million streams on his debut release ‘Last Night’.

Since releasing her self-entitled debut EP in 2014, Laura Elizabeth Hughes has received widespread acclaim, establishing herself as a rising talent among a fresh new group of emerging Irish songwriters. Hughes co-wrote the song ‘Together’ with fellow Irish musicians Ryan O’Shaughnessy and Mark Caplice, and it earned the nation a spot at the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest. Laura’s voice has seen her build a substantial fan base from around the world with her YouTube channel amassing an astonishing 2.5 million views.

Apella released their debut single in September 2016. The song, entitled ‘We Met At A Party’ received huge support from both national and regional radio stations. The duo’s follow up singles, ‘Graceful Dancer’ and ‘Logic’ garnered equal acclaim from fans.
