Monday 2nd TRADITIONAL IRISH SESSION, At the heart of this popular weekly session are a collection of musicians & songsters, whose combined experiences of performing, locally and internationally, along with their diverse musical interests produce a vibrant, but easy going experience of the best in traditional music & ballads. FEAT: Dennis Noonan on Bodhrán & bones sings in a uniquely laid back style, drawing material from his native Dublin as well as Ulster & Scotland. The late Frank Harte would have thrilled at his deliveries of some of the more humourous and bawdy ballads. Tommy Madden can lay claim to a lifetimes experience playing across the USA, England & Scotland and at venues all over Ireland, Playing with many legendary musicians. His bewildering knowledge of balladry draws on a wide range of material from Europe, America & Australia covering military, humourous, industrial, rural, urban and romantic songs. Jerry Lombard served his time with some of the greatest musicians ever to play in Ireland, England and America. He has a seemingly endless repertoire of tunes and an equally extensive collection of tales and yarns to entertain one and all. Jerry’s lively playing style matches his attitude to life, music and the Craic. Cathal hickey is the banjo driver of the group. An extraordinary talent, Cathal is a true master of the 4 string tenor banjo, and has played extensively at home and abroad. He is also regarded as one of the finest music teachers in the south west. Cathal’s wizardry enables him to adapt to the mood, stretching from avalanches of speed banjo- while still maintaining carefully crafted phrases, to mellow, rolling lines which he employs to accompany the singers- a true craftsman! Musicians and music lovers travel from far and wide to these sessions and as such this core crew often encourage guest musicians to take part in the proceedings. Doors: 9pm

Thursday 12th HOUSE OF COSY CUSHIONS, House of Cosy Cushions, debut album 'Animal Dream' is a far cry from the suggested comfort of this bands name, instead its a stark mix of hard rock & jazz pop threaded through with wispy surrealism and lyrical introspection. While at times unsettling the albums over all honesty and sublime execution is its beauty. Live the band faithfully recreates the records dynamic hard edges and gentle curves with passion and conviction. Nominated for a Meteor award for 'Hope of 2009' this August will see HOCC's return to Debarras with the awesome Katie Kim to support.

Thursday 26th PIERCE TURNER, Whether, as a singer, songwriter or performer, Pierce Turner has a penchant for the unexpected and the unorthodox, re-writing the rules of all of the above. Sometimes he performs from behind his trusty keyboard backed by a solo instrument (sax, maybe, or violin or trombone!). Or he can be out front-of-house clambering over tables and ordering drinks from the bar, in the middle of a song! His albums too, are equally mercurial, showing influences ranging from his Catholic Irish upbringing to the decadence of Lou Reed's New York, merging the upfront rock of The Byrds, The Beach Boys and The Who to deft touches of Irish trad, folk, jazz, techno, classical and choral harmonies. He has been described as one of the most important artists of the last 20 years and counts Christy moore and Brad Pitt among his biggest fans. Pierce returns to Ireland after months in New York recording with Philip Glass and performing with Iggy Pop, & Patti smith at Carnegie Hall. Tickets €15 Doors: 9pm

Their range of songs span everything form rock to trad with choice cover versions given their own unique stylings, however it is in their own compositions that they excel with the audience unable to tell the difference between their tunes and the likes of Bell x1, the frames etc that they so ably make their own.
