It kicks off on Thursday night with Eirecana favourites The Eskies along with Ivy Nations, D-Day, Orchid Collective,Fallen Lights and more. The Eskies gyspy-folk is well worth catching live while Orchid Collective are new to me and one I would like to check out.
On Friday night, the big draw for me are Crow Black Chicken. I've caught fellow artists The Hot Sprockets and Fox Jaw before live. Based on the experience of their live album, Crow Black Chicken live should be fun. It's quite a collective line-up but with a blues streak throughout.
Saturday night sees a very eclectic line-up including Ivy Nations, Vann Music, The Geddes and Aine Cahill.
Finally Sunday features a number of bands mixing rock, pop, alt-folk and more. Ones to check out include Gypsy Rebel Rabble and The Mighty Stef.
Four nights of mighty music. I'll be seeing you there. Find out more at the Rocktoberfest page. See you there.
