SpudShow 97 Artist 1 - Niamh Parsons Track - Boys of Barr na Sraide Gigs 12/02/2006 08:00 PM - Wexford -The Pipe and Voice weekend 01/26/2007 08:00 PM - Paris , Ile-de-France -Set Dancing weekend Bio Niamh Parsons has come to be known as one of the most distinctive voices in Irish music. Her voice has drawn comparisons to such venerated singers as Dolores Keane, June Tabor and Sandy Denny. The great Scottish balladeer Archie Fisher said of Niamh, "a songstress like her comes along once or twice in a generation." Growing up in Dublin, Niamh's music loving parents brought herself and her sister to the local folk club in The Old Shieling Hotel in Raheny, where the young girls were exposed to songs and singing from the likes of The Johnstons, Emmet Spiceland, Sweeney's Men, Dolly McMahon, Danny Doyle and many of the other musicians and singers that were playing in Folk clubs at that time. "My father was a great singer, and on long journeys the family used to sing in the car—I don't remember a time in my life when I was not singing—I love songs." Niamh developed this love into a penchant for collecting songs. She is always on the lookout for songs that speak to her—listening to new albums, scouring the Traditional Music Archives in Dublin, sharing notes with a network of friends and other singers. Once she discovers a song she likes, Niamh views herself as the vehicle for the music. "For me the song is more important than listening to my voice," she says. "I consider myself more a songstress than a singer—a carrier of tradition."

SpudShow 94 Artist - Emma Cunningham Track 1 - Fault Line Track 2 - Cherie BomB Track 3 - How It Goes Bio Emma Cunningham is a singer, musician and songwriter from Dublin, Ireland. Spoon-fed on a diet of rock, folk, country and trad, (she is named after Emmylou Harris) and surrounded by music from her very beginnings, the path she would follow seemed pre-destined! As a child she loved her recorder and piano lessons, her various Bontempi organs, a xylophone, making up stories, writing poems, acting out plays, dressing up and performing for anyone that would listen. She won her first prize for singing when she was 10 for a duet with her younger sister of the Mamas and Papas song California Dreamin. Her love of all things musical grew even more and a trip with her parents to see Emmylou Harris in the National Stadium when she was 12 only fuelled her passion. It was her mother who was the first to take up guitar lessons in the house and shared what she had learned after each lesson. Emma was hooked, and on her 15th birthday was given the offer of a holiday in Italy or her first guitar as a present - the choice was an obvious one! Over the years her record collection grew, and diaries, books and school journals were graced by her favourite lyrics. Her school graduation became the public debut for one her self-penned songs. A job in a music shop opened her up to a world of musical opportunity. The wealth of music at her finger tips provided many new influences and the new contacts and friends she made set her on the road to regularly performing in Dublin. Her world revolved around (and stills does) everything musical and she learned the art of recording and producing her own sounds. She began seriously writing her own songs and music and had every opportunity to mature as a singer and performer during this time. She also turned her hand to a bit of promotion when she set up her own singer/songwriter nights (Acoustica) which gave new acoustic acts the opportunity to play more than the usual two or three songs afforded to them by open mic / talent nights. Her growing presence on the circuit attracted the attention of Hot Press and lead to invitations to perform on radio shows including 98fm, Anna Livia and Near FM and her song Sometimes being featured on Phantom fm. This year Emma fulfilled a major dream of hers when she performed 3 gigs in Nashville, Tennessee. Emma performs regularly in some of the many venues Dublin has to offer. Live, her set comprises of original material and she always throws in a well-chosen cover version. She spends her time writing, gigging, collaborating, recording at home and updating her self-designed and administered website. She is also a student of Film, Literature and Drama in Dublin city....be sure to leave a message if you like what you hear!!!
