Dan Walsh is a musician from Mayfield, Cork City who is primarily known for his work as bandleader and composer in FIXITY. Within his many musical guises he is also known as a Saxophonist in The Bonk, Drummer with Junior Brother, one half of experimental electronic duo Senior Infants, director of The Council For The Dark Arts Orchestra and as collaborator with many other artists in various fields of intrigue.

David Murphy is a musician and producer based in Cork, known best for his work with the pedal steel guitar. 2024 saw Murphy take his first steps out of the shadows as a solo artist with the release of his own full-length studio album ‘Cuimhne Ghlinn: Explorations in Irish Music for Pedal Steel Guitar’.

Bridget and Kitty are London Irish folk singers and sisters who sing unaccompanied and in close harmony. They were embedded in the London folk revival scene, before relocating to Cork at the end of 2025. They have been singing together since they were teenagers and have created a powerful shared voice. Taking music from the British and Irish folk tradition, they sing songs about power, womanhood and tragedy.
