Both artists are excited to collaborate and share their music with fans in Ireland. Aines saying, "I am absolutely thrilled to be sharing my first ever tour of Ireland with such a dynamic songstress as Lorraine. We are set to have some incredible shows."

Nash adds, "I'm so excited to be sharing a stage with such a talented artist in the Australian folk scene,"…"I can't wait to show Ernest around Ireland before he returns the favour in Oz!." Nash is set to play Australia’s prestigious Port Fairy Folk Festival in March, Nannup Music Festival, Blue Mountains Folk Festival and regional Victoria’s Yackandandah Folk Festival.

Quietly establishing herself as a serious one-to-watch over the last few years, Kerry singer songwriter Lorraine Nash has earned acclaim for her combination of classic songwriting influences and a deeply authentic approach to her craft.

Enchanting audiences with his soulful voice, guitar skills and rhythmic stomp box, he's drawn comparisons to the work of Ray LaMontagne, Bon Iver, Jeff Buckley and on more recent releases, Nick Drake.
