Siobhan Owen –Wales   Unfortunately  Siobhan has had to cancel today’s performance 
Welsh born Siobhan will take you on a reflective music journey across the Celtic lands of Wales, Scotland and Ireland…and far beyond!  Siobhan’s haunting soprano voice and delicate harp playing are a beautiful combination for the mainly traditional Celtic songs in her repertoire.  A popular performer at festivals around Australia, Siobhan is gaining recognition internationally, making her UK, US and French debuts in 2013.  After being ‘discovered’ on YouTube by French producer Alan Simon, Siobhan was chosen as the voice of Yseult for a new French production of “Tristan & Yseult”.

Flat Out – Co Mayo, West of Ireland
Flat Out are a four piece group from Co. Mayo that formed in March 2013. They play an eclectic mix of Irish traditional music fused with a more modern sound. Earlier this year they were fortunate enough to win a song competition in association with national Irish radio station, Today FM, where they put their own stamp on Foster and the People’s ‘Pumped up Kicks’.  Flat Out have individual influences (folk, indie, pop etc.)  with each member bringing something unique and exciting to the group. Together with their combination of Irish instruments, male/female vocals and various influences, Flat Out create an intriguing, exciting sound.
