“The sound of The Beach Boys & Tom Waits heading off on holiday together…truly delightful & mesmerising” – The Ulster Herald

Ramper – the new musical project from former In Their Thousands frontman Declan McClafferty – has been named One to Watch in 2025 by the Irish Independent and featured in the Irish Post’s Soundtrack of 2025. Ramper’s songs have already travelled around Ireland, the UK, and across the Atlantic Ocean in the form of cosy shows. His music is best experienced live, in a moment just as ephemeral as his subject matter.

Ciaran Moran first came to our attention 8 years ago when he opened for Damien Dempsey. Since then the inner city raised Dublin singer songwriter has steadily progressed through the ranks earning praise from Irish Pioneers including Glen Hansard, Christy Moore, Damien Dempsey and Christy Dignam. He has a string of sell out headline shows in Dublin (Whelans), London and New York under his belt and has opened in major arenas for high profile acts such as Macy Gray, Paul Young and, most recently, The Wolfe Tones for their recent 3 night sell out run in Dublin’s 3 Arena. A new EP Love In The Gutter is due for release in August.
