    Ailie Blunnie is a piano/guitar-based singer-songwriter from Carrick on Shannon, Co. Leitrim. Her self-penned material fuses elements deriving from the musical spheres of jazz, pop and soul, with those more readily characteristic of a classical idiom. From playful and mischievous to touching and honest, each song embodies a miniature snapshot of the trials and achievements of everyday 20-something living.

    Though Ailie is classically-trained in piano, guitar and voice she brilliantly mixes every influence and genre to write very catchy pop songs.

    Ailie has sold out her headline performances in Bewleys Cafe Theatre and The Mercantile and performed alongside Vyvienne Long, Paddy Casey, Mundy, Pete Courtney, Juliet Turner, The Four of Us, Story Fold, Mark Greaney (JJ72) and Leanne Harte among others.

    Colm Keegan will open the night by reading some of his poems.

    Colm lives in Clondalkin, Dublin. He writes poetry, short stories and screenplays. Since 2005 he has three times been shortlisted for the Hennessy new Irish Writing Award, for both poetry and fiction. In 2008 he was shortlisted for the International Seán Ó Faoláin Short Story Competition. He is currently working on his first novel and a collection of poems.
