Fresh from a sold-out UK and Ireland tour, BABYRAT is cutting through the noise with razor-sharp riffs, anthemic choruses and the kind of edge that power-pop has been missing. Sonically landing somewhere between The Strokes and Olivia Rodrigo.

Simple Things is a Kerry-based three-piece, featuring vocalist Dylan, bass guitarist and backing vocalist Shane and instrumentalist Kealan. They bring a fresh new flavour to pop music, with their traditional Irish background influence and with sold-out shows from Whelan’s to Dolans.

Robert Dawson is an upcoming Limerick singer/Songwriter

Galway songwriter Jamie McIntyre has been riding the crest of a wave this past year with his viral smash hit single “Over Galway Town”, amassing over 5 million streams on Spotify, sitting amongst some of the world’s biggest artists in the viral charts.

With her debut self-titled solo album “MayKay” just dropped on GrainStore, the former Fight Like Apes frontwoman is stepping into her own spotlight. The record, born out of grief and self-discovery, has been critically acclaimed as “MayKay, unfiltered and finally solo on her own stage”

Robert Dawson is an upcoming Limerick singer/Songwriter who has gained recognition with his newest track ‘Scared’, which has amassed over 23k streams and over 150k TikTok views.

Richard is a presenter, producer, songwriter and actor. He was named the Limerick Person of the Year (2011) and won an online award at the Metro Éireann Media and Multicultural Awards (2011) for promoting multi-culturalism online. Richard says that the ilovelimerick.com concept is very much a community driven project that aims to document life in Limerick. So, that in 20 years time people can look back and remember the events that were making the headlines.
