Next weeks line up at The White Horse Sessions is Nicole Cropera, Sarah Something + Alan Boyle. Starts at 10pm, no cover charge. Come along and support independent, original Irish music! SARAH SOMETHING Sarah Something is an Irish singer-songwriter, from Drogheda, Co. Louth, who delivers heartfelt songs with powerfully passionate vocals and a captivating style. Much of the inspiration for her music is taken from her own life and the lives of others around her, both near and far. With a range of instruments under her belt including piano, guitar, cajun, bass guitar and of course her voice, she will just not stop. While performing her style is quite different incorporating memorable guitar riffs and rhythms with a loop pedal and building up with percussive sounds produced from the guitar as well as harmonic vocals backing her truly powerful vocals. This girl is one to watch out for! ALAN BOYLE Alan Boyle is an Irish singer-songwriter who now calls Australia home. Raised on the north Atlantic coast of Ireland, there is something of that wild country in the ragged passion of his music. Part of the same burgeoning singer-songwriter scene in Dublin that produced Glen Hansard and Damien Rice, he spent an entire winter busking on Dublins Grafton Street earning cigarettes from students, abuse from junkies and a tenner from Bono (once). But a love-affair with sunshine and a year-long trek around Australia in an ancient canary-yellow Renault 12 led to a permanent move to Brisbane. Since then he’s been building a reputation as a dynamic and powerful songwriter, opening shows for artists as diverse as Mark Seymour, and Fionn Regan and appearing at festivals and venues across the country. His songs have picked up a number of award nominations including the International Songwriting Competition, the Queensland Music Awards and he is a past winner of the Billy Thorpe Scholarship Award.
