The Ritz Brothers

The Ritz Brothers perform musical antics, from room to room, table to table, and courtyard to courtyard.

DJ Egg: Pride Set!
Thurs, 22 June 2023

Multifaceted artist and music selector, DJ Egg is known for their Jungle, Footwork and Club music driven DJ sets, from the beginnings in Limerick City throwing queer-centred events for their community, to now playing across Ireland and the UK with their personal take on how they love to dance.

Their days digging for music is intertwined with their artistic practice, and both equally are pegged for their inimitable, bubbly and energetic styles.

Toshín

Toshín, lead by the powerful voice of Toisin Bankole, is vibrant 6-piece band who take their inspiration from a variety of music spanning from early Motown to modern soul/RnB artists such as Tank and the Bangas and Anderson Paak.

Their exhilarating live shows go from chilled out, from the heartfelt soul of Aretha Franklin to all-out James Brown-esque funky goodness.
