Stomptown Brass

3:45pm to 5:15pm 

Stomptown Brass have emerged as one of the most unique acts in Ireland in recent times. Blending the sounds of funk and blues with a raucous cacophony of powerful driving rhythms, Stomptown Brass make the most of their impressive line- up: three Drummers, three Trombones, two Trumpets, one Saxophone and one big dirty Tuba.

What sets Stomptown Brass apart from any other act in Ireland is not just the originality of their music, but the fact they can turn any event into a wild street-party in the blink of an eye. 

Stomptown Brass draw on the New Orleans tradition of street stomping horn players, and so are not tied to the stage, but can bring the party, and the unmistakable energy of brass right to the heart of any space.

The tunes include bluesy vocals, dark infectious grooves, disco beat breakdowns, and funky minimalist rhythms, all delivered with a level of enthusiasm and showmanship rarely found on the circuit today.


La Orquesta Kalamares

5:30pm to 7:30pm 
A small band with a big sound, La Orquesta Kalamares are a Galway band that embraces the area's Latin influence and global appeal. The 3 piece combo skilfully brings the sound of a full Latin orchestra to the stage, embracing different styles: From Salsa and Merengue, to Cumbia and Bachata.

La Orquesta Kalamares Live Salsa Band has been regularly performing in venues and festivals throughout Ireland, including the Irish Salsa Congress, the Ennis Street Arts Festival, the Doonbeg Jazz Festival, The Che Guevara Festival in Kilkee, Newcastle West Arts Festival and the Cairde Sligo Arts Festival.

The band’s repertoire combines original songs and Latin arrangements of popular songs from across different genres of music, and in a variety of languages, guaranteed to make everyone dance!
