Here's some info on each act:
Peter Doran
Peter Doran is an independent singer and songwriter from Mullingar. He has just released his fourth studio album "Outlines" to critical acclaim in Ireland. The album was recorded in a small lake house in the Irish country side, and is the artist's most direct and sparse work to date. The warmth of Peter's acoustic guitar and voice creates an intimacy that draws the listener in, but it's lyrics and language that are at the heart of his work. Each song plays like a short film for your mind. In recent years Peter has played his own shows in Holland, Germany, England, Ireland, Belgium and New York and opened for Mick Flannery, Declan O'Rourke, Fionn Regan and Duke Special.
“A beautiful album from the Irish Singer/Songwriter, where gentle folk melodies and intricate musicianship blend with introspective vocals to an almost magical effect.” Mark Kavanagh - The Star
“Doran has nailed a very particular tone and feeling with this record.” Lauren Murphy - The Irish Times
“With it's overtones of Damien Rice and James Vincent McMorrow, this is an absorbing, uplifting record” - 8/10 Hotpress
“It’s fragile, it’s beautiful, it’s elegant... it’s everything that you’d hope for from an album.” - Dan Hegarty 2fm

Elena Duff
Elena was born in London, then lived in Ireland until moving to Berlin, Germany in 2007 where she lived and worked for 6 years before returning to Ireland.
Elena studied a joint degree in Fine Art Painting and Art History at the National College of Art and Design in Thomas Street, Dublin and graduated with honors in 1995.
Her current paintings are a development of her previous work where she created an off-kilter world populated by hand-sculpted figures and other props. These three-dimensional constructions serve as sculptures in their own right, but were also subject matter for her paintings, where tiny doll-like figures and the props/environment surrounding them were painted large.
Her newest works however, while retaining the off-kilter thematic element of their former counterparts, have developed into depicting real landscapes and real people within them. These works retain a focus on the inner-world within while also depicting an interaction with the wider world.
All her work aims to capture and display the invisible: dreams, hopes and emotions – both positive and negative. The creation of her world – one which is similar to ours, yet disconcertingly dissimilar – enables her to put on display those secret, hidden things. The invisible becomes visible and the inner world is revealed.
Elena has exhibited widely in both group and solo exhibitions in Ireland, the UK and Germany, received an Arts Council of Ireland Bursary Award in 2007 and Her work is part of private collections in Germany, the UK and Ireland.
