Villagers
Ladies and Gentlemen, allow us to present the Mercury Music Prize Nominated - Villagers - and further, we would ask that you all take a moment to remember just where you saw them first. And he's from Dun Laoghaire. So am I. So was Wilfred Brambell. Not a lot of people know that.... Villagers on the main stage in the Church of Saint James. You don't need to be a soothsayer to know that this band is one to watch. Conor appeared on 'Later With Jools' recently and pretty much stole the show. Get used to that would be our advice...

After offering to shave our presenter Aidan with a cut throat razor in the very splendid Baldy Barbers (there was none available) Mr. Yorkston took to the stage in the Glassworks armed with a guitar and a fiddle player and delivered a searing acoustic set.
