Ursula Burns

Ursula Burns, Belfast born singer songwriter grew up in a musical family and promptly ran away to join the circus in a vain attempt to escape the fate which awaited her - living as a musician in Northern Ireland. After many years and a few thousand miles walking with a horse drawn Theatre Company, ''Horse and Bamboo'', she decided to come back home and face the music by writing songs. Her first release SINISTER NIPS, and album, ACCORDING TO URSULA BURNS were written on the harp. Her experience as a stage actress was undoubtedly an advantage in presenting and performing her repertoire.

Window Seats

Window Seats play rock music. Sometimes it’s fast, loud and aggressive. Other times it’s slower, quieter and guarded. Whether the message is love, anger or both at once the songs remain intense and direct. Recent releases and videos are available through the band's MySpace page: www.myspace.com/windowseats. “Window Seats capture the spirit and energy of late 1970’s Belfast with a contemporary slant in this two track recording.

Black Alley Screens

Decky McKay met John Markey on the first day of school. They kicked each other under the table all the way ‘til Year 7. Markey went on to meet Kyle Haughey in secondary school. Although there was no kicking this time, the three of them soon become inseparable. Bored with Irish small town life, Decky bought a battered encore Stratocaster, Kyle took up the bass, Markey discovered the drums and so Black Alley Screens was born.
