HOMELIGHTS Festival - Whelan's, Dublin. Friday 27 - Monday 30 November 2009

Taken from the HOMELIGHTS MySpace page:

HOMELIGHTS is a weekend of music & visuals co-curated by Irish recording artist Adrian Crowley and independent music promoters Foggy Notions. It is a sister festival to Adem’s HOMEFIRES in London and the Fence Collective’s HOMEGAME in Fife and draws upon the themes of community and artistic kinship.


The line-up features numerous artists who Adrian has forged friendships with on his musical travels during his five album career to date, including some of his Fence Collective compadres, as well as legendary folk artists such as Vashti Bunyan and Andy Irvine for whom he holds great admiration.


This inaugural event will also double as a celebration of Adrian’s freshly consummated relationship with influential Scottish independent record label Chemikal Underground who will release his beautiful conceived fifth album Season of the Sparks in November 2009.


A long the way there’ll be numerous surprises, impromptu collaborations and surprise guests. Tickets are on sale including including the excellent value weekend tickets available from www.tickets.ie
