Rooted in a deep sense of place and belonging, Listening Project #12 gathers three extraordinary local acts for a sequence of performances tailored specifically for the festival’s theme of Homecoming. Uniting these distinct creative worlds in a single evening, this showcase stands as a vibrant celebration of the depth, richness, and artistic spirit of West Cork.

Lisa Hannigan is an acclaimed Irish singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and artist celebrated for her captivating vocals, intricate musicianship, and deeply expressive lyricism. Ever since launching her solo career with the critically acclaimed, Mercury Prize- and Choice Music Prize-nominated debut Sea Sew, she has established herself as one of Ireland’s most distinctive musical voices. Across standout releases including Passenger and At Swim, as well as high-profile collaborations and film projects, Lisa continues to mesmerize audiences worldwide with her unique blend of delicate folk intimacy and rich, expansive soundscapes.

Shimmer Boy is the music project of west Cork artist and songwriter Aaron O’Sullivan. Known for his immersive soundscapes and delicate, textured production, he blends atmospheric indie-folk with rich, multi-layered arrangements. Crafting songs that are both deeply personal and expansively cinematic, Shimmer Boy creates an evocative musical experience that lingers long after the final note.

Muiris McAlea is a Skibbereen musician and songwriter known for his compelling musicality, rich instrumentals, and grounded approach to songcraft. Blending nuanced acoustic textures with evocative melodic depth, his work creates an atmosphere of quiet intensity and emotional honesty that draws listeners in.

Unfolding across three separate sets, Listening Project #12 is a luminous, heartfelt tribute to local artistry and the timeless pull of returning home.

Hard to believe that it’s 5 years since I ran headlong into this magical human in Toronto. Our journey has been a wild one - I feel as though in some way the world has been testing us - as a means to solidify our love & friendship. I’m beyond blessed to have you in my life Erin. Happy 5 years. by @tadhgwp

A great day yesterday!

Go raibh míle to everyone who came to take part in my carving workshop at Kilcoe Studios, Ballydehob. 

We spend 3 hours together getting a feel for the work that goes into breaking down greenwood by hand - and then carving a simple butter knife shape using a 'scian géar'. 

I'll definitely be organising a couple more over the summer so stay tuned here or get onto the mailing list for Kilcoe Studios. 

obair iontach déanta ag @sonia_sculpture an rud ar fad a eagrú 🙏🏼💫
