SUMMARY:Seán Keane: The Distinctive Voice of Ireland Live in Birmingham
DESCRIPTION:Experience an evening of unparalleled musical heritage as Seán Keane takes the stage at Nortons Digbeth on April 24th. \nHailing from the village of Caherlistrane\, Co.

A night with Seán Keane is more than just a concert; it is a display of warmth\, intimacy\, and a touch of humour that connects deeply with every listener. \nDon’t miss this chance to see one of Ireland’s most captivating talents in the heart of Birmingham.

SUMMARY:Power Folk returns to Nortons! Sun 7 June
DESCRIPTION:The Folk Ensemble’s annual hometown party is back in Digbeth for its 13th year\, and it’s one of those days where you just settle in early and don’t make other plans. \nFrom 2pm through to late\, we’ve got a full run of bands\, big sounds\, and the kind of energy that builds all day and doesn’t really let you go. \nKicking things off\, the University of Birmingham Folk Band get us underway – one of the most exciting young groups in the city\, led by Paloma Trigás (Urban Folk Quartet\, Carlos Núñez and plenty more). If you like your folk sharp\, lively and properly played\, you’re in good hands. \nThen straight into GOOD HABITS bringing uplifting indie folk fusion – the sort that gets people smiling early doors. BBC 6 Music and Songlines already backing them\, so we’re not the only ones paying attention. \nUrban Folk Quartet follow with serious intent. High energy\, cross-genre\, and ridiculously tight. One of those bands where you look up halfway through and realise the whole room’s locked in. \nPotts and Jammin turn things up a notch after that – soulful\, rootsy rock with a bit more weight behind it. If you’ve seen Potts before\, this is him louder\, fuller\, and not holding back. \nThen it’s Blackbeard’s Tea Party – swagger\, sea shanties\, folk turned sideways into something bigger and a bit chaotic in the best way. \nAnd then the main event.Joe Broughton’s Conservatoire Folk Ensemble. \n80 musicians. No exaggeration. No easing into it.This is their hometown set\, once a year\, full force. It’s the reason Power Folk exists and it does exactly what it says on the tin. \nFrom there\, we’re not letting it drift off quietly. \nSelectah Si Chai takes over into the night – a proper dig through global sounds\, built for dancing\, built for people who aren’t quite ready to call it. \nAlongside it all\, we’ve got The Woodman Session running in the next room – open\, welcoming\, bring your instrument if you fancy it. No pressure\, just people getting involved. \nAnd in between everything\, Tom Chapman keeping things ticking over with a steady run of danceable bits so it never drops.

SUMMARY:The Whileaways
DESCRIPTION:Multi-folk award nominees The Whileaways have ingeniously solved the age-old dilemma of having three lead singers by becoming\, essentially\, one breathtaking\, powerhouse voice. A masterclass in perfected simplicity\, the trio weaves sublime\, goosebump-inducing harmonies through songs mined straight from lived experience\, heart\, and soul. Packed with rich themes of family\, love\, and a deep sense of place\, their music hollers to be experienced live in all its vibrant\, glorious detail. \n  \nBringing together three powerhouse talents—Noelie McDonnell\, Noriana Kennedy\, and Nicola Joyce—The Whileaways were each established virtuosos with extensive international touring credentials before uniting. What began as mutual admiration during late-night song sessions in their hometown of Galway quickly ignited into an incredible musical partnership\, melding a dozen collective albums and global mainstage experience into one legendary sound. \n  \nSince joining forces in 2012\, this unstoppable songwriting trio has unleashed four critically acclaimed albums. Renowned for spellbinding\, high-energy live performances that regularly draw passionate\, sold-out crowds\, their shows are a complete celebration of song. Even during lockdown\, their weekly ‘Live from Home’ Sunday sessions brought together a massive\, devoted global audience\, proving just how deeply their music connects people across the world. \n  \nDescribed by Hot Press as being “among the finest singers in the country\,” The Whileaways have earned sweeping praise across the globe. Irish Music Magazine hails their work as “profound and insightful\, tightly woven\, experimental\, fresh and energetic.” In a testament to their incredible versatility and prestige\, 2019 saw three of their signature tracks orchestrally scored and recorded with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra. \n  \nWhether delivering their own soaring original material or commanding the stage for their much-lauded show ‘Bird On The Wire’—a sensational ten-piece collaboration with Pauline Scanlon celebrating Leonard Cohen—The Whileaways are absolute masters of the stage. Their grander productions have packed out iconic venues like the Ulster Hall\, The Olympia Theatre\, and the Cork Opera House to rapturous applause. Joined by maestros Eimhin Cradock on drums and Sam Finlay on bass\, the band’s beautifully crafted arrangements and infectious stage presence create an unforgettable live atmosphere.  \n  \nBlending genuine craic\, intimate conversation\, and pure musical magic\, a night with The Whileaways is guaranteed to raise the roof and leave you wanting more.
