29th September - The Benedictine Quartet

The Benedictine Quartet is a newly formed folk group which is made up of Ross Boland, Dylan Fogarty, Sean Deegan and Stephen McGrath (from Crow Black Chicken). The musical collective spawned from the Phil Carroll’s midweek improv sessions with the late greats Philip Donnelly and Tony McLoughlin along with current members Sean Deegan and Dylan Fogarty. The name is taken from the monks secret formula for all things good for the lungs, purely medicinal of course!! Their mission is to leave every audience enriched in an acoustic experience delivered with the  passion the songwriter intended. They pay homage to the acousticCountry/Americana genre populated by the great Texan songwriters Townes Van Zandt, Nanci Griffith and Guy Clark to County Down’s unique son Tony McLoughlin, Dublin’s own Philip Donnelly and the artists he supported along the way, John Prine, Lee Clayton and the Everly Brothers.

6th October - Edel Meade

Award-winning singer-songwriter and Tipperary woman EDEL MEADE will perform at South Tipperary Arts Centre on Thursday 6th October following the release of her critically acclaimed solo album BRIGIDS AND PATRICIAS last year. One of The Irish Times’ Best Albums of 2021- this extraordinary collection of original songs draws from Irish history, Irish folklore and current affairs in exploring what it means to be a woman in 21st century Ireland. Edel is noted for her mesmerising performances and her haunting, powerful music.  She spent over a decade working as a professional jazz vocalist in Dublin before taking the time to hone her songwriting craft. These days, for Edel Meade, music-making is less about playing within the confines of a specific genre and more about stretching her abilities as a creative artist with a lot to say.
