Three's City Stages Collective made its debut at last year’s EP when a collection of Irish buskers came together to perform.
This year’s acts are Ava McKechnie, Brinda Irani, Dave Lofts, Jamie McIntyre and Tadhg Nolan.
Imelda May, alongside Camden Recording Studios MD Cian Boylan, will be working with the acts to create the one-off showcase which will take place on Saturday, 17th August at 2pm on the Three Music Stage.
Three’s City Stages initiative has been touring Ireland for over 18 months, providing a platform for Ireland’s busking talent who can be found performing daily across city streets around the country.
Over 1,000 musicians have applied to City Stages with a select number having received opportunities to perform on stage at 3Olympia, Electric Picnic and on a European tour with Gavin James.
Tell us three things about yourself . . .
I am a big Liverpool FC fan. I am one exam away from completing my degree in children studies. When I was younger I acted in Moone Boy on Sky 1 and appeared in an Ulster Bank ad (please don’t try to find them)
