The Little Unsaid, fronted by songwriter John Elliott, are a band with an original sound and international outlook. The Little Unsaid have spent the last year touring Europe, leaving audiences emotionally rapt with a live show that’s been described as ‘a thumping depth of passion’. Their sound is all their own but echoes the intensity and melancholic overtones of greats such as Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen. 2017’s critically-acclaimed Imagined Hymns & Chaingang Mantras album was recorded with Radiohead engineer and film score producer Graeme Stewart. The Little Unsaid embrace elements of rock, folk, electronica, jazz and alt-pop. One of the UK’s must-see rising live acts and recent winners of the Steve Reid award for Innovation. ‘Entrancing… songwriting of a real rich quality, all held together by an intensity of approach, by a focus on the emotional weight music can carry’ - Clash Magazine ‘Extraordinary music. This is an amazing act’ - Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2 ‘An enigmatic and unique talent’ - Birmingham Wire £10 | £8 CONC | £6 U16 Book Tickets by phone: 01478 613750 http://aroscommunitytheatre.co.uk/events/the-little-unsaid

Saturday 13 January, 7.30pm The Friel Sisters, Anna, Sheila and Clare Friel are traditional musicians born and brought up in Glasgow with their family roots firmly entrenched in the Donegal Gaeltacht. They play a mixture of music interspersed with songs in English and Irish, many from their family repertoire. Being siblings, they achieve a close blend on fiddle, flute and uilleann pipes. Since the launch of their debut album, they have performed in various venues and festivals across Europe, America and Asia and have appeared as guests on stage or toured with acts such as Altan, The Chieftains, Lúnasa, Sharon Shannon, The Máirtín O’Connor Trio, Cherish the Ladies, Solas and Fidil. In 2016, the girls performed at Festival Interceltique de Lorient, and won the prestigious Trophée Loïc Raison. 2017 sees an exciting time as they are currently in the process of releasing album number two with Hajime Takahashi, produced by Ciarán Ó Maonaigh and recorded by Jack Talty in Grouse Lodge Studios, West Meath. They are very excited to launch this in December 2017 at Scoil Gheimhridh Ghaoth Dobhair. “The Friel Sisters’ music cannot be held back; it is what comes natural to them. They breathe music, they live music, they love music. Traditional Irish music is in a richer place for having these young genuine people carry it on to future generations.” Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh of Altan £10 | £8 CONC | £6 U16 Book Tickets by phone: 01478 613750
