Simon Bird
Simon Bird is an independent, Dublin based producer (originally from England’s South West). Between November 2010 and October 2011 he independently released 5 EPs. His fifth and most successful EP ‘V’ was also re-released in early 2012 in a limited run of 12” Vinyl.

Over the last year since the release of ‘V’ he has been working on his first full length album, which is due to be released in the coming months.

Niamh de Barra
Niamh de Barra works primarily with cello, voice, electronics and sampling software, layering different textures in a live setting, to build a song from scratch. Her music draws on traditions old and new – a contemporary Irish cultural narrative, electronic, but with a human face and a transparent process.

She’s played in a range of venues in Ireland and the Netherlands, from sitting-rooms to avant-garde jazz clubs to a tent in a field on the edge of a cliff, and her music has celebrated Bloomsday in Bray, and been broadcast on TG4’s ‘Ceol ar an Imeall’ and Dan Hegarty’s Studio 8 Sessions on 2FM.

She’s released two EPs, ‘Cusp’ (2010) and ‘Below The Sea’ (2012), and a full-length album, ‘Echo’ (2012), which is due to be released on vinyl on Alphabet Set in late 2012.

Brian Conniffe
Brian Conniffe is a cross-genre, experimental musician.
His work directly states inspiration from such non-musical sources as hypnosis, linguistics and ritual magick, making for a unique style which fuses the darkest psychedelia with disquieting ambience.
Highlights of his work include:
His participation on the 2009 release “Revenge of the Selfish Shellfish” by legendary experimental project Nurse With Wound.
Many live performances with his primary collaborators Suzanne Walsh and Diarmuid MacDiarmada (co-founder of The Jimmy Cake and The Tycho Brahe) and forthcoming LP release.
Several solo performances including a lecture on ritual and music at the Guest House, Cork.
Soundtrack to the feature length film “The Poorhouse Revisited” by Michael Higgins.
Collaboration with a long list of artists from diverse areas of music, most recently playing live as a member of Robyn Bromfield’s Catscars alongside Patrick Kelleher.
