Seafoam Green
Seafoam Green are Irish songwriting duo Dave O’Grady and Muireann McDermott Long. They’re a roots bands from Ireland, now based in Liverpool.  Their debut album Topanga Mansion was a collaboration with Rich Robinson (Black Crowes), and was met with high critical acclaim.

Kousic Sen (Milap’s Artist in Residence)
Kousic Sen is a renowned tabla player whose intense and energetic performances add a new dimension to the traditional concert experience. Born into a musical family, Kousic is the proud representative of the Banaras Gharana and is one of the foremost tabla players of his generation, and has performed with leading musicians in many of the world’s most famous venues.

“His rhythmic mastery has become known around the globe.” Band on the Wall

SIMON HERRON

Irish songwriter Simon Herron‘s songs are poignant, wistful and delicate. He has a melancholy approach to his writing that is often dark and longing. The creaky melodies and sparse fingerpicked guitar of these songs make use of the quiet spaces in between, as much as the notes and words themselves. His releases have garnered success with over 5 million Spotify streams and BBC radio play alongside shows on the Other Voices Music Trail and Liverpool International Music Festival. His debut album; The Remnants of a Thought was released last year.

“Often, though, blue is the colour of our true love songs. (Herron) has continued to turn heads with his songs of delicacy and drive” Liverpool Etc

They make emotional music & will release their fourth album in 2021. The band have headlined Liverpool’s The Music Room, 81 Renshaw, The Zanzibar Club, The Magnet and Thornton Hough Village Club in Wirral, alongside high profile support slots with Blue Rose Code, Pete Wylie, Gemma Hayes, Ian Prowse & Amsterdam, Steve Pilgrim, My Darling Clementine and Mick Flannery.

Only Child’s latest release is the ‘Sound’ EP : five recordings of songs written by Liverpool songwriters.
“If only all #lockdown covers were as lovely as this…” Americana UK

KINGFAST

“Stunning looped guitar acrobatics and soulful pop numbers.” Bido Lito
