Series Three: 2025
Episode 1: The Darkling Air
Renowned for their haunting melodies and evocative lyrics, singer-songwriter Rachel McCarthy and composer-producer Michael Keeney have carved out a unique sonic niche. Expect ambient soundscapes and vocals underpinned by guitar, piano and strings when this duo bring their signature blend of dark, experimental folk to the north coast.
Virtual Reality Experience
One thing ticketholders might notice when they come to the gigs is something that looks a bit like an orb on stilts. That will be the Virtual Reality camera. We're working with Stunt Double Music, The Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Ulster University to record these concerts in this cutting edge film format.
With VR you get far more of an experience of actually sitting in Mussenden Temple for the concert than traditional video allows, and it's far more accessible than it used to be. This material will be released later on in the year for more people to get a flavour of this one-of-a-kind experiences.
