Some great supports have just been announced !

 

With just two weeks to go until a massive weekend of music in Birdhill County Tipperary a stunning selection of supports have been announced to enjoy to join the already exciting lineup for the Feile Forever shows.

On Thursday 2nd September Bell X1’s Paul Noonan will be joined by Emma Langford. The Limerick folk singer is having a stellar rise since winning at the RTE Radio 1 Folk awards and most recently was part of the Irish Women in Harmony Line up. She joins the songwriter of some of the biggest irish anthems of the past 20 years, from “Rocky took a Lover” to “the Great defector”, Paul Noonan is a stunning lyricist and front man and promises to deliver a very special performance at Birdhill.

With the Jerry Fish show on Friday 3rd September heading for a sell out, the enigmatic showman, band leader and all round bringer of musical mayhem has invited Tipperary singer-songwriter Norma Manly to join him at Birdhill. “a 21st century Patsy Cline” and “Blues as they should be heard” are amongst the press acclaim for Norma and she will set the scene perfectly for the Emotional Fish Front man and Irish music icon.

Jerry Fish is a carny soul, one who has spent much of his life on the road, a shape-shifter, showman, shaman, songster, rock peacock and supper club crooner from Lynchville, a constantly evolving artist who has always favoured innovation over orthodoxy.

Saturday 4th September brings arguably Ireland's greatest  ever pop band The Frank & Walters take to the stage and it’s fitting that one of the brightest talents in the vibrant Midwest music should open up for the Cork Trio. Dylan Flynn and the Dead Poets have been building audiences, stream, views and a buzz since 2019 combining energetic guitars and well-crafted song writing . They will take to the stage before a full show from the Franks.

Will Leahy will act as host on both nights and  chat to Jerry and the Franks about Feile, the last couple of years and plans for the future.

 The Final night of the weekend Sunday 5th September  sees two of the greatest live acts to come out of the Midwest come together for the very first time as The Alvin Purple Experience & The Funk Junkies take to the stage of this pop up outdoor concert venue at Birdhill.

 Tickets for these socially distant outdoor shows under cover are available in Pods of 4 from Ticketmaster.ie and www.thetriptotipp.com
