ABOUT THE PERFORMERS MATT LUNSON & THE LAST HURRAH: In April 2005, Tasmanian-born songwriter Matt Lunson released his debut album ¡®¡¯Miss Vaughan¡¯¡¯ to much praise and critical acclaim. The album showcased Lunson¡¯s exquisite voice and highly intelligent song-craft, marking him out as a uniquely talented and accomplished artist ¨C one not to be missed. ¡° ¡­listening to Miss Vaughan, it's clear that Matt Lunson's debut is an exercise in lucid loveliness¡­Factor in lyrical epiphanies and you get an album that sparkles and shines¡­¡± The Irish Times GAVIN GLASS & THE HOLY SHAKERS: Gavin Glass is busy recording the follow-up to his gem of a debut album ¡®¡¯I¡¯d like the world to teach me how to sing¡±. An up-coming tour abroad with his superb band, the Holy Shakers, is in the pipe-line. Expect Americana/country-soul/rock (a la the Band) played with buckets of passion and charm: brilliant songs inspired by break-ups, make-ups, life & death. JENNY LINDFORS: Jenny Lindfors is a musician who has the ability to amaze, surprise, comfort and spoil her audience all at the same time. Luscious vocals, beautiful arrangements, capricious piano/guitar playing combined with song-writing of the highest order means any performance by Jenny Lindfors must come highly recommended. Shimmering folk-rock tunes... that superb, subtle voice is all her own." Kevin Courtney, Irish Times "One of those rare voices that just takes over, and almost eclipses the singer with the size of it's feeling." Julia Molony, Sunday Independent DERRICK DEVINE (& BAND): Returning to his folk roots after a spell in the sadly-now-a-ghost rock band ellison9, Derrick Devine combines dark, intelligent lyrics with a wry, gin-soaked sensibility to produce songs of defiance, melancholy, insight and humour. Influenced by the likes of Nick Cave and Will Oldham, Devine and his band aim for beauty and rarely miss. ¡®¡­enchanting, sublime ¡­ intimate, haunting and quite addictive¡­¡¯ Hot Press ABOUT ENABLE IRELAND ENABLE IRELAND is a leading national provider of services to children and adults with physical disabilities and their families.
