Bernadette O'Grady is a singer-songwriter from North Ireland, who now lives in West Wales. She began performing and writing songs, whilst living in New York, influenced at the time by both Irish and American artists. Her material ranges from contemporary storytelling songs to more reflective and soulful songs, performed with honest emotion.
Bernadette gave a highly entertaining interview, and beautiful live performance, on The Evening Show (BBC Radio Wales). Her own song 'Dead Man's Shoes' and her delightful cover version of Bob Dylan's 'Don't Think Twice' have also received airplay on the show.
Other live performances have included playing at Aberystwyth Arts Centre (The Acoustic Platform / RT Productions), Tenby Folk Festival, Cwmaman Music Festival, Northamptonshire's Kontra Roots Club, Oxjam Brecon, and London's premier acoustic night, 'On Stage at The Halo'. Recently, Bernadette gave an exquisite ninety-minute headline performance of her songs at Soundbites, Llanidloes.
One of her songs was featured in the independent Irish film, 'Just Another Miracle', and broadcast as part of UTV's 50th Anniversary Short Film Festival.Tuesday Night Acoustic Session (11th) Folk Rebirth @ The Fleece With Jess childs (15th)
Jess Childs has been singing since she was a little girl, surrounded by music in the Mid Wales farmhouse she grew up in. Introduced to guitar and piano by their mother, Jess and her two brothers were all keen musicians and artists throughout their early years. Jess wrote her first song 'Alright' when she was fourteen, in a music lesson at school, and performed it in a concert the same day. Since then she has received good reception for her writing and performances, appearing with only her guitar for support at various venues in and around her native Mid Wales, and further afield in South Wales and Herefordshire. She has featured in the Brecon Fringe Festival line-up during Brecon Jazz Festival for some years, performing in the grounds of Brecon Cathedral and the 'A Frame' art gallery, and also supported country singer and Radio 2's Bob Harris favourite Angie Palmer during her UK tour at Brecon's Theatr Brycheiniog. Jess has also appeared at The Workhouse Festival in Llanfyllin, Hay-on-Wye's Literary's Fringe Festival, at Abersytwyth Arts Centre’s MidMad Festival and acoustic platform. 2009 will see her and guitarist Julian Lewis record new material and carry on gigging at venues across Wales and the Midlands, including Hereford’s The Black Lion as a guest of local favourite Lou Richardson and NRG Bar in Neath.Tuesday Night Acoustic Session (18th) Folk Rebirth @ The Fleece With Victoria Neale (22nd)
