The Acoustic Affair presents

Odi with guests

Saturday 20 March, 8pm

£10

City Halls, Recital Room

An Irish songwriter who blends elements of Joan Armatrading's pathos, Beth Orton's eye for the quirky and deep with a touch of Dido's bedsit romance.

Odi's story began 3 years ago when she uploaded some recordings to her Myspace page and then armed with a beautiful raw voice she headed down to her local folk club to blag her first gig. Since then, the Wexford woman has gigged tirelessly across Ireland, the UK and Germany, playing upwards of 250 shows, supporting the likes of Eleanor McEvoy, Mick Flannery and Mundy.

Her debut album, Maslow's Songbook (produced by Karl Odlum) features contributions from Colm Mac Con Iomaire (The Frames/Swell Season) and Ronan O Snodaigh (Kila).

Re: Mix

Wed 24 March, 7:30pm

City Halls, Recital Room

The Red Ensemble was formed in the autumn of 2008. Consisting of flute, clarsach, violin, soprano sax and laptop, they produce experimental, ambient influenced music, which is wholly improvised.

Tonight's performance will be played over 2 sets, the second set containing remixed music the ensemble play during the first, which they will then use to create further improvisations - The Red Ensemble meets The Red Ensemble!
