Join Me In The Pines announce Stendhal Festival and Body & Soul performance at Electric Picnic
Announce performances at
Stendhal Festival, Limavady on Saturday 9 August
And Body & Soul Stage @ Electric Picnic, 2014
Debut album will be released on 10th October in Triskel Christchurch, Cork
Join Me In The Pines released their debut single ‘Joy Is A Lion’ earlier this year to two sell out shows in Dublin’s Unitarian Church and Coughlans in Cork. Following on from this success JMITP have announced more tour dates for this year. The next few months sees the band performing up and down the country with Triskel being the only other Cork City show for this year so make sure you jump on those tickets fast not to miss out! JMITP are also happy to announce a set at this year’s Body & Soul stage at Electric Picnic.
The man behind the moniker is Bell X1’s David Geraghty who is putting finishing touches to the album which is due for release on the 10th October. Geraghty released his debut solo album ‘Kill Your Darlings’ in 2007, to critical and fan acclaim. The album was also nominated for a Choice Music Prize that year. 2009 saw David return with his second solo offering ‘The Victory Dance’. Both of these albums were written and recorded between stints in the hectic Bell X1 touring schedule.
Similarly, Dave’s new project, ‘Join Me in the Pines’ was written and recorded over a year and half while on and off the road. JMITP is a return to the somewhat isolated creative process under which his debut album was made. This time around the process benefits from a newly built home studio, (which was tried and tested on the demos for Bell X1’s “Chop Chop” album). “Finally there’s a place, other than their flight cases, where all these instruments can reside. Every musician’s dream is to have their own home studio. However, this dream is of the double-edged sword variety. Being a workaholic, it’s sometimes difficult to switch off knowing that the studio is attached to your living room.”
Once again Geraghty displays his musical skills on the new album by playing almost all of the instruments, although it was enhanced by some great talents from the trad, folk and classical worlds. Clare Finglass, who appeared on Dave’s first two albums, again lends her voice to make one half of the backing vocal duo. The other half being Dave’s Mammy. “Because apart from being amazing, she works for free”. The album is being mixed by Phil Hayes, who has also recorded and mixed some of Bell X’s albums (Flock, Tour de Flock, Blue Lights on the Runway, Field Recordings).
It is a busy year for Mr. Geraghty as he is also writing the film score for “You’re Ugly Too” starring Aidan Gillen. The film is set to appear at film festivals around the world from September with a release date due for next year.

Ayala releases new single 5157 Miles on 29 August
New Single by
AYALA
‘5157 Miles’
Out August 29th
Ayala is releasing her new single ‘5157 Miles’ in Ireland on the 29th August. Last year saw Ayala have a top 5 club hit in the UK with her song ‘The Sun Has Come’ remixed by Joey Negro (Kelly Rowland, Mariah Carey, Sugababes, Diana Ross, Lionel Ritchie and Pet Shop Boys). This track reached the top 10 in the Music Week club chart.
Since then Ayala has been writing in LA where she wrote ‘5157 Miles’ which was inspired one day when Ayala was feeling home sick and missed her family in Dublin. She decided to look up the distance between Dublin and LA which turned out to be 5157 miles and the song was born.
Ayala spent the early years of her life in Dublin. Her parents were extremely musical and had an old record player with tonnes of old jazz records that Ayala listened to and loved. “I was mad about Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan too. But I wasn’t only into the highbrow stuff. I also loved Whitney Houston and Kylie Minogue.”
Ayala wanted to sing from a very young age, her solo debut was in a school play at the age of 5 and ever since she has had no doubt she wanted to make a career of it – “Although I can play the harp, the violin and the piano too, my heart has always been in singing – that’s when I feel at my most creative and happy.”
Ayala has been compared to Alicia Keys, Corinne Bailey Rae and Emile Sande and her music has been praised by many. Ayala’s music will sound as fantastic 50 years from now as it does today. Ayala is here to stay.
‘5157 Miles’ will be released via De Angelis Entertainment on the 29th August.

Aisling releases first single ‘Hear My Prayer’ from her debut album ‘Hold My Dream’
AISLING
‘Hear My Prayer’
Out 22nd August
When multi-award winning writer and producer, Andy Hill, whose credits include Celine Dion, Cher, Diana Ross, Michael Ball, Katherine Jenkins and Westlife, describes someone as “the best singer I have worked with in a long while, who combines a naturally beautiful voice with great feel, sensitivity and knowledge of music” the world takes notice.
Aisling was born and brought up in the small rural village of Ballycanew in County Wexford. Surrounded by rustic countryside and close to the beach it has inspired her writing and is still the place she goes to relax and be with her family. Music has been a constant part of her life and background, whether it was listening to pop, rock and classical records on the radio during the 1990’s, her father playing the button accordion at family get-togethers or listening to her sister Deirdre sing as one of The Irish Sopranos and her work embraces the many styles that she’s absorbed.
‘Hear My Prayer’ is the first single from Aisling’s debut album ‘Hold My Dream’ which was recorded and produced by Andy Hill at his Suffolk studio in 2013. ‘Hear My Prayer’ is a song about life’s uncertainties and is a cry for guidance in this unpredictable hazy world.
“I wrote this song when I personally was feeling unsure, wondering what I should do with my life, worried about money, life, my family and wanted to put that into words. But as I started writing the lyrics, it became less about my own worries and stresses and more about how everyone goes through bad or worrying times but try to hide it behind closed doors. That no one ever really knows the answers and so they look for someone or something to guide them. In my case and in my song it’s a prayer for guidance in a world which seems to have a lot of confusion, fear and uncertainty and looking for a ‘cure’”.
‘Hold My Dream’ is the debut album from Aisling also set for release on the 22nd August.

Earthship release new EP ‘Proximity Effect’ on 11 July
Earthship
New EP ‘Proximity Effect’ Out 11 July!
Earthship is a five-piece band based in the west of Ireland, formed in 2011 by bassist Karl Clews, keyboardist Mark Farrelly, guitarist Eoghan Judge and drummer Bart Kiely. Although heavily influenced at the outset by classic 70s jazz-funk and fusion artists, such as Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Weather Report and Return To Forever, Earthship’s sound has evolved over the course of innumerable gigs throughout Ireland and Europe to become a unique fusion of funk-inflected dance grooves, fiery improvisation and memorable pop hooks, which sees them equally at home on the stages of the Cork Jazz Festival or grooving out in a field full of rock, pop and dance fans at festivals such as Electric Picnic and Body & Soul.
Their new EP – entitled ‘Proximity Effect’ – scheduled for release on 11 July 2014, will feature four brand new tracks and will showcase a subtle change in direction for the band: vocalist Paula Higgins moves to centre-stage, and the instrumental jazz-fusion pyrotechnics on which the band have built their reputation thus far, while still present, take a backseat in favour of more conventional pop/rock song structures. Lead single, ‘The Great Wheel’, a beautiful, chilled, slice of summery pop with sublime vocals, encapsulates this sea change perfectly.

Tell No Foxx
TELL NO FOXX
Release Self-Titled Debut EP on Friday 4 July
& perform in-store HMV Grafton Street on the same day!
Lead track ‘Boulevard’
“They’re a slick, very polished band who are unashamed at the level of production they put into their music. Imagine an Irish contender to Bastille’s crown and you’d be right on the money. Its atmospheric rock with pop sensibilities that has its sights set on the charts” – GlodenPlec.com
The Irish trio of Brian Sillery, Luke Lacey, & Johnny Flood under the guise of Tell No Foxx are set to release their debut self- titled EP on July 4th.
Hailing from Wicklow Tell No Foxx’s music complements the expansive nature of their environment. Brian, Luke and Johnny started creating music together midway through university, experimenting with different soundscapes and drawing from a large diverse pool of influence.
Tell No Foxx use a wide pallet of electronic & natural drums, hollow synths; minimalistic guitar wrapped in meaningful lyrical textures, to create a sound that is both heartfelt and mysterious, glimpsing echoes of the 80’s infused with contemporary taste.
The band started working on their debut EP in January 2014. The EP is self-produced, recorded between their next-door neighbour’s studio and Luke’s laptop. Pete Meaghan engineered and co mixed the EP along with Luke.
The lead track from the self-titled EP is ‘Boulevard’, check out the video here – http://youtu.be/H0FcRr4A-h4 .The theme for ‘Boulevard’ is adultery; the guys wanted the video to convey duality of man, the many hats a person can wear in life, a person torn between lust impulse and faith.
Tell No Foxx will be playing an in-store live show in HMV Grafton Street, Dublin on Friday July 4th to celebrate the release of their EP.
