Irish Heartbeat Festival 2027

Without Willow

Without Willow is one of Ireland’s most promising young duos to take to the stage. Karen Kelly and Simon McCafferty from Donegal combine two-part harmonies, subtle guitar playing and powerful songwriting to create atmospheric songs full of emotion and narrative power. Their debut album, *Left Behind*, caused quite a stir in 2024 and established them as a fixture on the new Irish folk scene.

Raglan

Raglan are sure to create the perfect festival atmosphere. The four musicians captivate audiences with their harmonies, traditional songs and a brilliant blend of joie de vivre, humour and musical depth. Their performances combine the energy of an Irish pub with the emotional power of great ballads, turning every St Patrick’s Day celebration into a special experience.

3 on the Bund
