artists to be confirmed
 Joe
Dunne
Joe Dunne began playing music at the age of ten and moved to guitar
and singing in his late teens. His early musical influences led
him to believe he was in the wrong age bracket, being the youngest
member of "The Stadiums Audience".
From the ages of 13 -15 years he was present at vast amount of
stadium gigs, enjoying then talents of musicians from Harry Chapin
to Loudon Wainwright III, etc. Joe has played with many diverse
musicians and has giged Ireland, Europe and the States.
Susan McKeown
Dubliner Susan McKeown is making a rare appearance in her native
city, before jetting back to New York's East Village, where
she is well known as a NYC singer who rocks.
Her voice has been hailed as 'one of the most powerful and distinctive
voices in Irish music'; her latest release 'Sweet Liberty' features
collaborations with Malian Tuareg and Mexican musicians.
 Maria
Tecce
Susan will be joined by jazz, blues and cabaret singer, Maria
Tecce, fresh from her triumphant 'Torch Song' at the Dublin
Fringe Festival's Spiegeltent. Listening to Maria has been described
as 'bitter and delicious, romantic and obsessive, tender and
turbulent'.
 Ann-Marie
O'Grady
Another singer-songwriter with a fine voice is rising star Ann-Marie
O'Grady: for her most recent album, Mary Black selected no fewer
than three of O'Grady's eloquently-penned songs.
 Zoe
Conway
Joining these feisty female performers in Mother Redcap's will
be fiddler Zoe Conway and veteran singer-songwriter Sonny Condell,
who has been an integral part of the folk scene since the 1970s.
A solo artist for a number of years, he is probably best known
for his collaborations with Leo O'Kelly (Tir na nOg) and Philip
King (Scullion); his 'French Windows', a mix of jazz and contemporary
rock, combines 'wry, reflective lyrics' with 'a gutsy, almost
industrial sound' to produce an album that has been compared
with Emmy-Lou Harris's 'Spy Boy'.
Chiara Browne
 Australian
singer-songwriter Chiara Browne signed to Warner Chappell Music
when she was 18 and was swiftly moved to Nashville where she
spent time writing and developing her style. She also saw snow
for the first time in Nashville falling on a guitar shaped swimming
pool! Although her material is tinged with a country flavour
her music is diverse and likened to “bluesy singers like Bonnie
Raitt & Janis Joplin” Hot Press
Organised by Paul Lee of Musiclee Promotions (www.musiclee.ie),
this unique Hallowe'en line-up is a benefit for the National
Birth Alliance, which, since 2002, has been campaigning, unfunded,
to secure greater choice for women in childbirth, including
more access to local maternity services.
With one in every three maternity units set to close and a raft
of health legislation expected in 2004-2005, the Alliance needs
funds to produce lobbying material, publish research and develop
its Web Site (www.maternitymatters.org).
