Cheap Date feat. Morgan McIntyre, Best Boy Grip & Rainy Boy Sleep at The Black Box

2.00pm

Join us for an afternoon showcase of the best new local music we’ve come across over the last six months.

Morgan McIntyre: Morgan MacIntyre is 19 and from Belfast via Donegal. Morgan is classically trained and has been writing songs as long as she can remember. Feted by Gerry Anderson, Gary Lightbody and Terri Hooley as an exceptional new talent, key reference points might include Joanna Newsom, Regina Spektor and Kate Bush.

Best Boy Grip: Eoin O’Callaghan is the man and the voice behind Best Boy Grip and his band have just released their debut EP Barbara to critical acclaim. With recent support slots for Pete Doherty and Bronagh Gallagher and numerous plays on local and national radio, 2012 is starting to look very interesting.

Rainy Boy Sleep: Rainy Boy Sleep has had an eventful Summer winning over crowds at Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds with his unique songwriting and haunting voice. A supporting tour with Cyndi Lauper and numerous radio plays on Radio One and Radio Ulster, have seen RBS’s fanbase is build at a rapid rate. A remarkable new talent.
