First up on Saturday the 14th of June at 2 pm is the wonderful Declan Sinnott and Evelyn Kallansee (Evelyn & Dec)
They will be performing songs from their latest album , signing cds and having the chats.
We might do a little Q&A with Declan after the performance about his life in music, as fair to say he has seen it all….that’s if we are brave enough to do it.

Here is another song from the latest album…expect more of this on Saturday

Ah sound, Ray! Glad you liked it. Excited to share it here with ye all. Filmed on Cape Clear a couple weeks back. The first sprouts of the song came from there, 17/18 years ago. Thanks so much to Tim McSweeney, who usually does our instore videos, for his drone photography.
This track’s a bit more folky (except the end!)
Give it a like and share and all that malarkey, please!
bÚkl – Feckin’ Unreal (Official Music Video)
Also, just want to say thanks so much again to everyone who has supported the album so far. I’ve sold over half of my stock and the feedback/reviews have been very positive – thanks again!
