David Kitt

Thursday May 30th

David Kitt has been in the music business for over a decade and recently brought his skill to a new level with his sixth album ‘The Nightsaver’, described by the Sunday Tribune as his “best album yet”.

He has toured across Ireland and Europe and and was invited by David Bowie to perform at the Bowie curated Meltdown Festival at Royal Festival Hall in 2002.

The Nightsaver is a result of two years of Kitt immersing himself into creating music, experimenting into the early hours and oftentimes dedicating 80 hours a week to the process. It was in an apartment along Dublin’s Grand Canal that he did his writing, recording, and production.

From the dreamy chimes of opener “Move it on”, through the clipped disco swagger of “It’s yours” and the breathtaking mantra-style vocals and splitting electronic distortion of “Learning to say Goodbye” right through to the creaky folk-blues hip-hop of “No truth in your eyes”, “The Nightsaver” is very much David Kitt’s clean slate record. Come enjoy it for yourself in the ambient setting of Sol y Sombra.

Walking on Cars

Saturday June 1st

Walking On Cars are creating sounds as beautiful and dramatic as the landscape that envelops them. From the Dingle Peninsula, the five creatives first grew to know each other from a shared interest in surfing. This friendship soon gave way to a tuneful collaboration, borne out of a desire to write music. With songs reflecting both the isolation and consolation of Dingle, this year Walking On Cars look set to add to their increasing number of admirers.

With a workmanlike dedication to their craft the band toured across the country, developing their passion for playing live with standout performances at the Indiependence, Sea Session, and Valencia Festivals. They also made some notable special guest appearances to The Coronas, Ham Sandwich and The Riptide Movement.

Imbued with a charming determination to reach out from the surf and ruggedness of Corca Dhuibhne, Walking On Cars are giving every chance to achieving their ambitions in 2013. With the completion of their debut EP, some high profile performances (including Other Voices IMRO Other Room and The Late Late Show) and the recent inclusion of their music on The Voice of Ireland television show.
