Piney Gir:

Late addition to the Bill is Piney Gir, London based electro pop songstress, currently touring with Erasure and dashing from the Erasure gig in Vicar Street to rock the Ballroom:
Piney Gir lives in London, England but grew up in Kansas City USA in a Pentecostal Christian household. During her childhood Piney developed a vivid and playful imagination while receiving a formal education in music, untouched by the temptations of sinful secular pop. In her late teens Piney broke from the past and discovered the music of the masses with huge delight and a completely personal perspective. This unique mixture of experience has shaped and defined her music. Piney’s rich, beautiful vocals are as refined and smooth as a roll of silk but can give way at any time to frenzied yelps of discontent. Her sound is often fractured and mysterious but always touched by a sly sense of fun.

Dry County:

Dry County are Kevin Littlewood, Phil Porter, Joanne Parle and Stuart Flood. What started out as an electro acoustic experiment between Kevin and Phil has become a fully fledged band with an individual style and sound. Their live performances have had an immediate affect on audiences in Dublin, recent sets at Mor, The Spiegel Tent, Small Hours Christmas show and the Lazybird 4th birthday have left a lasting impression. Dry County are the first band to accept the 'indie-tronic' challenge from elsewhere in Europe and their two E.P.s "Bury your head" and "Nothing stays in place" serve as notice of a band with a great future

Crumb:

Crumb are a trio made up of leftovers from other bands. They play crunchy yet melodic jangly guitar pop tunes. Their debut album titled 'Evenings & Weekends' will be launched April 2005.

Michael Knight (solo):

Michael Knight are a boy/girl indie pop trio that blend timeless '60's tunesmithery with more experimental influences...odd song structures, weird chord progressions, overlapping vocals,and the like. Michael Knight have been on the go now for, oh, all of two and a bit years, being first unveiled to the world in the warm confines of the Ruby Sessionscirca December2001. For this performance Richie will be playing solo

David Creevy:
David Creevy is one the leading Irish classical guitarists. Currently studying under Michael Parkenon, David's shows in Ireland, the UK and the United States have received critical appraisal from various quarters. With a strong emphasis on Spanish guitar, David incorporates Irish airs along with sounds and techniques from Cuba, Russia, Japan and Turkey as well as classical 19th and 20th traditions.
