ShamROCK Irish Music Festival, Warsaw, Saturday 27 August

Paddy Hanna, Saint Sister and The Wood Burning Savages will headline the first ShamROCK Irish Music Festival at Niebo Concert Venue, 21 Nowy Swiat, Warsaw, on Saturday 27 August 2016. Entrance is free for everyone.

The acts

Saint Sister was formed in November 2014 by Morgan MacIntyre and Gemma Doherty. Their music draws from early Celtic harp traditions, 60s folk and electronic pop to create ‘atmosfolk'—a mix of soulful vocal harmonies, dreamy synth and electro-acoustic harp. More on their music can be found here.

Paddy Hanna is a Dublin-born singer-songwriter. He has been described as one of Ireland’s best singer-songwriters, who espouses Elvis Costello-style lyrics and rarely fails to inspire. More on their music can be found here.

The Wood Burning Savages are big-sound rock personified. From Derry city, WBS is made up of Paul Connolly (Vocals/Guitar), Daniel Acheson (Bass), Aaron McClelland (Drums) and Shea Tohill (Guitar). Their intellectual lyrics and breezy intensity have taken the Irish music world by storm in recent months. More on their music can be found here.
