ANNETTE BUCKLEY
Annette is one of the finest contemporary Cork vocalists/songwriters
of her generation. Originally it was her much enthused
performances at the Lobby Bar, Cork that increased her
once murmuring fan base into a cascade of local public
recognition. To witness Annette Buckley on stage is an
experience nothing short of religiously spiritual. A
magnificent voice carries an endless flow of al lyrics.
Each syllable,
one feels, is born of that rare place where few souls
go, and fewer still have gone and survived. It is a place
where
the eye of innocence stares into the darker outposts
of humanity, and returns more deeply wise. Her debut
album "the
ever changing colours of the sea" due out in April
2005. Annette also features in the "Reflections of
Cork" book. This is in association with the European
Capital of Culture 2005.

in New Bridge Co Kildare, Gavin grew up in cork, with
the influences
from uncles Christy Moore and Luka

musically this singer/songwriter is most definitely his
own man.
His soulful voice with its great range, sets him apart,
not just from the sound, synonymous with his family,
but also from his peers. Gavin's debut album "until today" was
launched in July 2004 and is highly recommended . Gavin
performed at last year's Lisdoonvarna Festival and this
year featured on both line-ups for the 'Bush Comes to
Shove' gigs at Vicar St.
