Join us at the Oh Yeah Music Centre for a night of 'bone-deep rage and syrupy hooks' celebrating 30 years since the ground-breaking release of Hole's iconic album Live Through This.

The album encapsulates the journey of survival amidst adversity and we have invited Sister Ghost, Susi Pagel and Aqua Tofana to offer their take in a night centred around recreation and reimagination of a seminal work.

Expect a fusion of raw energy, emotive storytelling, and unbridled passion, echoing the album's themes of endurance and resilience. 

A potential show of the festival. Three absolute icons of Americana will play individual sets then come together for an unforgettable finale. 

Peter Case is a three-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter from the USA who has a most impressive resume. He was the founder of the Nerves, the very first American indie band to put together a nationwide tour and one of the very first to release their own indie EP. He then was the founder and leader of the legendary Plimsouls, an incredibly influential L.A. rock and roll band which drew praise from everyone from Elvis Costello to Tom Petty to critics nationwide.

For the past thirty-some years Peter Case has been a solo troubadour in the great tradition of Dylan, Guthrie, and Pete Seeger. Early on he was produced by T-Bone Burnett and he’s played with and been championed by Roger McGuinn, Van Dyke Parks, Mike Campbell of Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers and many more. His latest album is The Midnight Broadcast and it just might be his very best album.

Sid Griffin is best known for his leadership of the Long Ryders, the founding fathers of alt-country and Americana. He is also the proud artist behind four well-received solo albums, was the leader of the wonderful ‘alt-bluegrass’ UK band, The Coal Porters, he was the Resident Musicologist on BBC 6 Music’s Radcliffe & Maconie radio show for over a decade and Sid has written four books. Sid’s most recent book, Million Dollar Bash: Bob Dylan, The Band, and the Basement Tapes, has been reissued twice and Sid did the liner notes for that collection of legendary Dylan tracks.

Dan Stuart is a musician and author who was the leader of Green on Red, a band associated with both LA’s Paisley Underground of the 1980’s and the beginning of the so-called Americana movement. His “false memoir” The Deliverance of Marlowe Billings was published in 2014 to critical acclaim which was followed up with The Unfortunate Demise of Marlowe Billings in 2018.

All three of his books all have albums by the same name with the last getting Americana album of the Month in UNCUT Magazine, Dan has released over 15 albums between Green on Red and his solo years.  

Tonight’s performance will feature songs from across his solo and Green on Red catalogue and a very brief reading from his third and latest novel Marlowe’s Revenge along with stories of his time with Green on Red.

Evening of stand up comedy from Tom Lawrinson split into two halves.

Second section will be his work in progress new show Buried Alive (and loving it).

“Tom Lawrinson is in a class of his own and as one of the funniest stand-ups in the circuit.”

Ed Fest Magazine (5 Stars)

“An insightful and funny gentleman, cleverly turning stock gags on their head to reflect a “woke” view of a world that has slept in for too long.”

The Skinny

“He has an eye for the mundanely absurd which is truly unique, with an execution that is joyfully daft.”

The Linen Hall Library and Women's Work are delighted to launch the brand new EP ‘Woman’ by Belfast based folk Singer Songwriter Ciara O’Neill. Following on from the success of her last EP where single ‘La Lune’ topped the BBC Radio Ulster and RTE Radio1 airplay charts and her subsequent RTE Radio1 Folk Award nomination this event is not to be missed.

If Ciara’s music has one central theme it is her voice, one that silences a room with the first note as well as her heartfelt crafted lyricism never shying away from emotions that are both uncomfortable and universal. The ‘Woman’ EP is an exploration of the beauty and complexities of being a Woman in modern society. Looking at herself, her own female relatives and those Women in history who have lived lives in the shadows, Ciara writes about having a desire for more, not feeling the need to conform to expectations placed on Women and having the courage to be visible.

Expect a night of beautiful music and words of empowerment and truth in the stunning backdrop of the historic Linen hall library.

The current 2024 Volume Control team have thrown some massive all-ages shows this year and they have delivered every time with an outstanding line-up of local acts. They’re putting together their very last gig in the Oh Yeah Centre on 15th June which is one you won’t want to miss out on!

Headliners Brand New Friend have been making music since 2017, with Johnson siblings (Lauren, Taylor and Logan) starting off with jamming sessions in their family home on Northern Ireland’s rugged north coast. Within a few years they went from playing their local pub in the sleepy village of Castlerock to playing festival stages all over the UK and Ireland. After meeting drummer Luke Harris and lead guitarist Aaron Milligan in a Portrush pub (then performing as their own two-piece band), then recruiting younger brother Logan as a fully-fledged member on bass, it seemed inevitable the five would unite, completing the Brand New Friend line-up almost by accident. Following the release of their debut album Seatbelts for Aeroplanes in 2018, they hit the road in support of Snow Patrol, Lewis Capaldi, Ash, Starcrawler, At The Drive In, RAT BOY and Feeder. 

If their recent second album, Grandstand, is a record about the butterfly effect put in place before you were born, then it is also about the need to create your own. It’s about the good and bad coexisting and finding a way to continue when life has you know it has completely changed. Inspired by Pavement, The Thrills, Interpol and Mike Skinner, the indie pop record has achieved support from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Radio X and RTE 2fm. The group's growth is evident, with the LP brimming with massive sounding guitars and pop hooks.

Keep your eyes peeled - more acts TBC!

Legendary musician, Dean Friedman, returns for another outstanding performance. Hear Ariel, Lucky Stars, Lydia & more live!

Dean Friedman, one of the pre-eminent songwriters of his generation, announces a 40+City UK/Ireland concert tour. The tour runs from January 12th thru August 18th, 2024, including stops in London, Manchester, Leeds, Cambridge, Belfast, Dublin, Cardiff, Bridgwater, Penzance, Rayleigh, Glasgow, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and more, winding up at Dean Friedman’s SongFest, a 2-day micro-music-festival, hosted by Friedman, held at the Draycote Hotel in Rugby, featuring some of the UK’s finest singer-songwriters.

Friedman, best known to UK and Ireland audiences for his string of chart hits, Lucky Stars, Lydia, Woman of Mine, McDonald’s Girl and “Well, Well,” Said the Rocking Chair’, will be performing solo, on guitar and keyboard, featuring songs from throughout his four-decade career, including familiar, radio hits and fan favorites, drawn from his nine studio albums.

 "Soundtrack of our lives!" – NYTimes; "Songsmith extraordinaire!” – MusicWeek

“Dean Friedman is entirely unique and utterly brilliant” – ThreeWeeks

“Stunning Musicianship!” - Hot Press

In addition to the hits and fan favourites, Friedman will be highlighting songs from his latest, critically acclaimed album, ‘American Lullaby’. The crowdfunded album, considered by dedicated fans as one of his finest, touches on a broad range of topics including: the calamitous pandemic, looming environmental disaster, racism, sexism, our fractured politics, and an intractable culture war.

“My latest album, ‘American Lullaby’,” Friedman explains, “reflects my personal take on all the crazy stuff that’s been happening in America – and around the world - for the last six years. Like all lullabies, it’s filled with tales of dark deeds and disaster, but couched in soft, gentle tones, meant to soothe and comfort the listener, while gently bracing them for the potential terrors that await.”

Invite family and friends and join Friedman for an evening of powerful, poignant and hilarious songs about the ordinary and extraordinary lives we share.
