Kitty and the Can Openers have appeared on U-105's Homemade Jam and were most recently to be heard on Feile FM's local music showcase Livewire. Live credits include Gifted at The Empire Music Hall in the good city of Belfast.

I have never heard of you lot, but upon listening am quite impressed, esp. with roll on yesterday. A great voice, good work.

if you ever need a promoter in North Scotland that keep any profit for themselves and give it all to the band, do get in touch.

Many thanks for your kind words! I'm really honored that you liked my stuff! I love your sound & songs & your vocals are beautiful! I also love the little black cat, she is very sweet and I hope she is OK if she is missing one of her eyes! Very best wishes from Berlin!

On 29th April Clements Acoustic presents:

Anthony Toner

If you listen to local radio at all you can’t have failed to hear Anthony Toner’s single “Sailortown” taking over the airwaves recently. The single comes from the album “A Sky for Every Day”.
As well as performing as a solo artist, Anthony also performs as slide guitarist and singer with the Ronnie Greer Blues Band.

http://www. myspace. com/anthonytoner



The Quiet Eyes

This will be the first gig from an acoustic duo so new that they don’t even have any recordings up on their MySpace yet! Consisting of Annie Baraniuk and guitarist Rory Tracey they cite their influences as ranging from New Found Glory and Jimmy Eat World to Jeff Buckley.

This gig is to raise money for the Theatre Knights' performance of Reservoir Cats, an all-female version of Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs which will be performed in Belfast's The Black Box from 13th-16th May. The play will in turn be donating profits to the Belfast Rape Crisis Centre which has been in danger of closure since the Government withdrew funding.

=)

We're a bit nervous cause it's our first gig!

Wonderful show last night guys. It's a testament to the strength of your music and your musicianship that it came across so well even in such baffling and bizarre circumstances.

Bad room, great band.

Tuesday 15th April Clements Acoustic presents:


Emer O’Neill

After what seems like months of playing at Common Grounds, The Knights of the Round Table nights at The Pavilion and The Rotterdam Bar Acoustic Sessions we finally get Emer O’Neill to play in Clements!

Belfast born and raised, Emer is a 25 year old singer/songwriter/architectural technician who is trying to make her own way in this industry and connect with people through her sincere approach to music.

“The gumption for this mad adventure comes from my love for music and guitars... yep, sad as it is I LOVE the sound of a guitar. I love making guitars, I love just tapping the wood and hearing the tone echo out. I love watching other guitarists and being inspired to learn more. I love experimenting with different tunings; different techniques and just letting my hands go nuts. I guess a lot of it is just down to good old instincts and being patient, as I figure it all out.“

We nearly called our next production "Reservoir Kitties" instead of "Reservoir Cats" but decided that would be a bit much...
