Extra acts confirmed for Cois Farraige
SOULFUL Dublin born singer Laura Izibor and perennial Irish festival favourites The Blizzards have been added to the Cois Fharraige line-up. The three day festival will take place on September 11-13 in the Co. Clare seaside village of Kilkee.
Laura Izibor and the Blizzards join an already impressive line-up consisting of Doves, The Zutons, Newton Faulkner, Noah & The Whale, The Hold Steady, Stereo MC's, Lightning Seeds, Jerry Fish and The Saw Doctors.
Izibor is hot property at the moment, having finally released her hugely anticipated debut 'Let the Truth be Told', which went straight in at number two in the Irish album charts.
Boasting a voice that R'n'B and soul legends would kill for, Izibor has been billed as one to watch for a long time, winning the 2FM Song Contest at the age of 15. A 'Hope for 2006 Award' at the Meteors followed, as did festival appearances.
Recent appearances with Aretha Franklin, India Arie, John Legend and counts Stevie Wonder as a fan, while her debut entered the Irish charts at number two and entered the top 30 in the US charts and No. 6 on the US RnB / Soul album chart.
Her new single If Tonight Is My Last is out this September.
The Blizzards are well known in these parts, having played in Limerick many times over the last few years, garnering a huge following for their brand of pop-rock, as demonstrated on the 'A Public Display of Affection' and 'The Domino Effect' albums.
This summer alone they have supported Oasis at Slane, AC/DC in Punchestown and U2 at Croke Park, as well as a lively turn at the Oxegen festival.
With a hardcore, committed fanbase, the Irish quartet are sure to bring in a big crowd also, which will help with ticket sales.
Tickets are on sale now for the three day festival, which takes place in Kilkee, September 11-13. Tickets are still available at the early bird price of €89, which will increase by €10 after September 1.
