1) THE SUNDAY PUNCHERS (Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa)

"Traditional Irish music as well as deep rooted South African folk have a lot in common in terms of music styles. A couple of guys, some from Irish/Scottish heritage and others from their deep rooted Afrikaans heritage decided to do away with their noisy punk rock riffs and look a little deeper into their roots. Combining it with the punk rock and roll they have grown up on as a staple diet of their daily lives. T.S.P. began with a few teething problems at first as a new band. Firstly there was the quest to find suitable members who would share the same interest as to where T.S.P. was going. This above all proved to be the most difficult task as most young people today have forgotten their roots and ancestory and where their heritage has come from over the years.

Mutiny abound ye scurvey land lubbers!!

After over a year of patience and almost giving up, some of the lads decided to give it one more shot which eventualy paid off.

Clint, Gene and Michiel showed up on T.S.P.'s door step foaming at their mouths. Too much Guinness or just plain craziness? We will never know. One week of hard finger bleeding practice with the new lads, we all had a feeling something was missing. It was out there, stuck in the briggs of a ship somewhere out at sea. As the winds changed towards us we could hear it, the soothing wail of the most beautiful Violin to grace a mans ears.

The beautiful Miss Ankia flew into T.S.P. barely a week before the first show. Her talent and skill at Violin has welled up many a teary eye at T.S.P.'s practices with the lads.

One week before the first show the impossible was achieved. A bunch of mostly complete strangers not only
pulled out enough mind blowing tracks for a show but also quickly became united as not only musicians but as a family and this ladies and gents is their vessel. Their ship."

3) THE MICKS (Brooklyn, New York City, USA)

"Mick - A derogatory term for an Irishman, usually Catholic and sometimes drunk

The Micks first began when John Walsh (Vox/Guitar) was asked to play a benefit concert run by Clothing Cures, a non-profit organization rasing money for underprivileged kids in Malawi. John asked Jack McFeely (Drums), who he had grown up with and played music with many times before, if he would like to team up to play or...iginal songs. After a few months of practicing, both decided they should keep the act going, and decided to call it The Micks. After a few months of playing and practicing, the two teamed up with Joe Jacques (Bass), who met John through high school. The three have been playing ever since and continue to play till they are stopped by a greater force.

4) STRAMASH (Glasgow, Scotland, UK)

"Stramash in essence are a Celtic/Folk Rock Band who originally formed in 2008 as a tribal pipe and drum band. After 2 years of extensive touring they opted for a bigger, more electrified sound, and Stramash was born.

Stramash bring something old and something new to the celtic folk world, they have taken well known traditional Scottish tunes and re-invented them into powerful folk rock ballads without losing the traditional feel and flow of the story or song. With a wide array of original material ranging from folk ballads to celtic funk, Stramash are pushing the envelope wide open to encompass a whole new generation. Already gaining a widespread reputation for their sweet vocal harmonies and powerful melodies, Stramash are destined for great success.

Stramash are a diverse and experienced musical ensemble consisting of Andrew Lowrie on Drums and Vocals, Andrew Jackson on Guitar, Mandolin and Lead Vocals, William Maxwell on Bass and Vocals, Michael Gilfeather on Lead Guitar and Vocals, Tony Collins on Highland/Border Pipes, Whistle and Flute. Stramash are visually brought together with the fearsome tribal dances and energetic percussion of the bands Fomorian women Kay Anne Affleck, Lindsey Newman and Sammie Black."

6) JUNE TABOR AND OYSTERBAND (England, UK)

Category: RAGGED KINGDOM

"In 1990 June Tabor and Oysterband collaborated on the classic Freedom And Rain album – frequently regarded as one of the Top 5 Folk albums of all time. Twenty one years later they’ve reconvened, to record the magnificent Ragged Kingdom. The album will be released on Monday 19th September.

Invited to reunite for fRoots’ 30th birthday party at the Roundhouse they all came off-stage determined to make a belated follow-up to their earlier collaboration.

”The spark” says Oysterband’s Ian Telfer “is we really feel we do something together which is different from what we do as separate acts. There is something in the combination of June’s exquisite dark voice with the supple energy of Oysterband that greatly pleases us. June comes to recording fantastically well prepared: every nuance of meaning and feeling considered in advance and plotted in her mind. Then she stands in the studio and delivers one perfect take, like an act of Chinese calligraphy. Or maybe Chinese cooking: the work is all in the preparation.” "
