Aoife Moriarty
Aoife Moriarty
After an intense period of songwriting and collaboration in 2023/24, Aoife Moriarty celebrates the launch of Artefacts, her second album and her first collection of songs released since 2009’s critically acclaimed Dolls & Jigsaws.
The songs look back to childhood and lost loves, with the advantage of time and distance. For this collection, Aoife limited herself to composing on acoustic guitar, then performed the songs extensively at open mics before beginning the demo and recording process. The album evolved slowly over two years, each artefact being polished with loving care.
The songs are dark and introspective, with a touch of the surreal and something childlike about them. If they had a colour, they would be yellow — like the sudden explosion of colour when Dorothy is whisked out of Kansas and into Oz.
The arrangements bring together acoustic guitar, piano, bass, brass and woodwinds, violin, cello, spoken word and electronic textures.
For the launch at The Cobblestone, Aoife will perform vocals, acoustic guitar, piano and laptop, accompanied by Hugh McCabe on bass, Aisling Bridgman on violin and Sean-nós soprano MYJYN on vocals.
The evening will open with newcomer Mary Margaret McCullough, before Aoife and the band take to the stage to perform Artefacts live.

Cathal Caulfield
Album Launch: Welcome the Stranger into Tipsy House
Cathal Caulfield is a Dublin-born traditional Irish fiddle player and folk singer living in Mayo. He will be launching his debut album of fiddle music and song, Welcome the Stranger into Tipsy House, in the Cobblestone Backroom Venue on Saturday November 14th (Available for Pre-Order on Bandcamp now).
Growing up to the sound of his mother playing fiddle and singing along to Sinéad O’Connor and Mary Black CDs in the car, Caulfield went on to learn from exemplary fiddle teachers Aoife O’Connor, Liam O’Connor and Ciarán Mac Aoghdháin, alongside Ceoltóirí Chluain Tarbh's many talented tutors. Caulfield’s debut album seeks to revive precious old music and song while capturing his artistic development rooted in the Dublin traditional and folk music scene in the decade following his fiddle tuition.
Recorded, mixed and co-produced by Kilian O'Flanagan, mastered by Ben Rawlins, the project features album artwork and design by Sinéad Kennedy, a music video by Ruth Clinton, photography by Sarah Flynn and contributions to the sleeve notes by Jacqui Martin and Jesse Smith. The result is an album of rare music and wild nostalgia, joined by old friends Sarah Flynn on concertina and former Skipper's Alley bandmate Fionnán Mac Gabhann on uilleann pipes. With his wife Catriona Kennedy featuring on the final track, paying tribute to the late Mick O’Grady and Jesse Smith and their magic Wednesday session in the Cobblestone—this is surely a night not to be missed!

The Session - Dublin
The Session is not your typical Open Mic Night and Jam - we put original music first. Every show starts with an opening act - an emerging local artist who presents their music to our crowd. Then we kick off our Open Mic lineup to give everyone their moment and finish things off with a jam together, usually with everyone up on stage. We are building a community where musicians young and old can come together, share their talent and

Heron Red
Heron Red
Heron Red is a musical project born from the creative spark between two artists, Molly Buchan and Callum Wall.
With a sound that fuses vibes from The Waterboys, Dolly Parton, and The Mamas & Papas, Heron Red is a dynamic folk duo with a full-band sound. The band blends traditional Irish music with Americana, country, and Traditional folk. The duo crafts music that ranges from stripped-back storytelling, echoing the poetic depth of Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, to the soaring, full-bodied energy of The Waterboys and Planxty.
In 2025, the band played over 50 shows in renowned venues and festivals across Ireland, the UK, and Europe, from the intimate charm of De Barra’s in Clonakilty to the high ceilings of Cork City Hall, All Together Now in Waterford, Victorious festival in Portsmouth, Galway Folk Festival, and the influential Output Festival in Belfast.
This past year, Heron Red's momentum has continued to grow, with over 5.5 million views on their TikTok page in just a few months. Recent highlights include being selected to play for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on their 2025 annual global exhibition in Ireland, supporting Irish legends like Bell X1 and Damien Dempsey after the release of their self-titled debut EP, recorded by Daniel de Burca, who previously recorded 2026's 'Irish Song of the Year' (Amble - Schoolyard Days).
This four-song EP was a great success for the band, amassing over 70,000 streams to date. In December 2025, the band were asked to feature and perform on Netflix's new show, Grown Ups. Written by Irish novelist, Marian Keyes, this show is set to air in autumn 2026.
Heron Red's plans to progress in 2026 and 2027 are through continuing to tour Europe and the UK, focusing more on showcase gigs, festivals, and major support slots. The band spent some time in the studio in December of 2025, recording three new tracks for release in 2026. The band is set to record their first album live in studio this summer in County Kerry with de Burca.
