She made a splash last year with a standing ovation performance on Jools Holland’s Annual Hootenanny, and now Irish blues guitarist and singer, Muireann Bradley makes her festival debut. Specialising in acoustic fingerpicking country, piedmont, and ragtime blues styles from the 1920s, 30s and 40s as well as later folk, country and americana, her star is on the rise. An opening set from Edinburgh’s Lone Bear Blues duo is followed by close vocal harmonies and uplifting songwriting drawing from folk, americana and country influences from up-and-coming Glasgow band The Niche Family.
