Taylor Lally - Fool (Exclusive CQAF session) Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival 2023-04-19 | Meet #CQAF23 Artist in Residence TAYLOR LALLY.Taylor will be playing on Sunday 1 May, 8pm at The Sunflower Pub, Belfast.She will also be popping up in a string of high-profile support slots throughout the festival...We think 2023 is going to be quite the year for the Millisle-born artist. After receiving her first guitar for Christmas at 11, she became enchanted with the instrument and, inspired by the music of James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and Bob Marley, started writing her own songs. Taylor moved to BIMM (Brighton Institute of Modern Music) to study music performance and eventually graduated with a degree in songwriting.Recent support slots for Steve Forbert and Mary Coughlan have contributed to her growing reputation and headline slots are now beckoning, including a sold-out Courthouse show in Bangor in February.‘‘2023 is the start. I am finally just stepping into the world.” muses Taylor “After so many years of playing cover songs in bars, studying, writing, and sculpting my style, no words can describe how that feels”We're delighted to welcome her to The Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival!‘The singer from Co. Down has been compared to the likes of Rikki-Lee Jones with the guitar sensibilities of John Martyn. She also strikes a chord with her poignant songwriting craft. Dealing with themes of growing up in a changing Northern Ireland and healing from heartache … you can’t help but admire Taylor Lally’s impressive knack for pulling our heartstrings’ – CHORDBLOSSOM

OTL 2022: Zoë Conway & John McIntyre Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival 2022-01-27 | Streaming LIVE from The Black Box BelfastWith an exciting blend of eclectic fiddle and guitar music, Zoe Conway and John McIntyre bring to the stage sympathetic arrangements of traditional Irish music, compositions and songs, old and new.The husband and wife folk duo possess a rare facility to draw pieces into their repertoire from other genres such as classical, jazz and world music and express this material in way which not only displays the sheer range and knowledge of both instrumentalists but also exhibits the wonderful versatility of their instruments.Their debut duo album, entitled Go Mairir I Bhfad (Long Life To You), received a glorious 5 stars from The Irish Times. For this unique album, they commissioned twelve leading Irish composers to each compose a piece specifically for Zoë and John, for fiddle and guitar, with the aim of collectively presenting a snapshot of traditional Irish music alive today. The renowned composers who took part in the project were Liz Carroll, Steve Cooney, Frankie Gavin, Andy Irvine, Charlie Lennon, Donal Lunny, Máirtín O’Connor, Peadar Ó Riada, Mícheál Ó Súilleabhán, Tommy Peoples, Niall Vallely and Bill Whelan.Zoë, no stranger to the stage, has performed with an impressive list of international artists including Riverdance, Damien Rice, Lou Reed, Nick Cave, Rodrigo y Gabriella to mention but a few. In contrast to this, she has been an important figure within classical music circles in Ireland and abroad, as her crossover discipline has allowed her the pleasure of appearing as soloist with acclaimed orchestras such as The Irish Chamber Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra and German WDR Symphony Orchestra;Zoë has recorded on major film soundtracks including award winning Float Like A Butterfly (Samson Films 2018), Artemis Fowl (Disney 2020), and the duo have recorded on Finding You (Red Sky Studio 2021) and Riverdance The Animated Adventure (Universal 2021).John grew up in the Cooley Mountains of north County Louth where he took up guitar at 8 years of age. John studied classical guitar and piano for many years, and from early childhood was immersed in the language, songs and traditional dance music of south west Donegal – his father’s homeplace.Together, Zoë Conway and John McIntyre have been described as “simply one of the best folk duos on the planet” (BBC), and audiences in Ireland and beyond keep coming back for more. They were awarded Best Live Show from popular YouTube channel, Balcony TV, and have received in excess of a combined half a million views online.“An ceol is binne agus is cruinne dá gcuala mé riamh.”“Zoë Conway – Folk Instrumentalist of the Year 2020” (RTE Radio 1 Folk Awards)“Simply one of the best folk duos on the planet” (BBC)Streamed live by #accidentaltheatre accidentaltheatre.co.uk

The publicity around the event drew articles from the national press, culminating in Christine’s live appearance on BBC’s Newsnight.Piaf has been awarded the Fringe Laurels for Total Sell Out Show and received five star reviews from some of the most respected publications.Streamed by The Accidental Theatre in Belfast. #accidentaltheatre Find more from them on their websiteaccidentaltheatre.co.uk---Be sure to like and subscribe to our channel for more from the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival and Out to Lunch festival as well as announcements and more.Find more information about upcoming events and book tickets on our websitecqaf.com
