The Quarter Block Party returns to The Green Room at Cork Opera House with 2 shows
from up and coming Irish artists.
Róis (Rose Connolly) is a composer, performer and multi-instrumentalist, from County Fermanagh.
Her body of work includes ensemble, large-scale and small-scale works, solo pieces, electronic
solo/ensemble pieces and short film/multimedia works also. Her unique sound is an idiosyncratic
combination of modernist and contemporary music with inflections of Irish traditional music, folk and
Jazz. Rose maintains a busy performance schedule in Ireland, performing with an array of
professional musicians in both Jazz, traditional and classical contexts.
His Father’s Voice are a four piece outfit from Limerick City. The band effortlessly blur the lines
between new wave, post-punk and shoegaze through soaring melodies, unflinching guitars and
moody muscular rhythms. Broodingly introspective yet danceable, the band is in constant negotiation
with a well-yielded tension as shown in their debut EP ‘Context and Perspective’ and follow-up single
‘In the Shade’. These releases garnered a new found reputation which led to a number of
opportunities; including a set on the Rankin’s Wood stage at Electric Picnic 2019 and support slots
with high-profile acts such as Viagra Boys and Cherry Glazerr.
