Dublin has a long and legendary tradition of writers, and since Conor O’Brien adopted the name Villagers, the singer-songwriter-instrumentalist-dramatist has joined the club with a rich, deep and diverse body of work.

Critically acclaimed, Villagers have been awarded Ireland’s Choice Music Prize, nominated for UK’s Mercury Music Prize and Conor has been awarded two prestigious Ivor Novello’s for his songwriting. Villagers sixth studio album, ‘That Golden Time’ was released in May 2024 (via Domino) underlines O’Brien’s unwavering commitment to a uniquely nuanced, literate and melodic fusion of folk, pop and rock that has won awards and accolades from peers such as Paul Weller, Elvis Costello, Damon Albarn and Guy Garvey.

Dublin-born singer and composer Rachael Lavelle’s debut album ‘Big Dreams’, released via her Rest Energy label, has quickly seen her become recognized as one of Ireland’s most exciting emerging talents. The album received a nomination for Ireland’s prestigious Choice Music Prize Album of the Year.
