Catherine McGrath, the Irish country singer and acclaimed acoustic songwriter, has left an indelible mark on the global music stage. Hailing from Rostrevor, Northern Ireland, McGrath journeyed to Nashville to collaborate with top songwriters like Liz Rose, Jimmy Robbins, and Josh Kerr (Grammy winners). Her debut album, released with Warner Bros. Records, showcases her songwriting prowess. Headlining tours and gracing festivals such as Glastonbury, C2C, and British Summer Time, she’s mesmerised audiences of 50,000. McGrath toured with Morgan Evans, shared stages with Picture This, and played iconic venues like London’s O2 Arena and Belfast’s SSE Arena. Endorsed by Elton John, her music earned coveted spots on Apple Music and Spotify. Featured in a BBC Radio One documentary, she received the Countryline Rising Star Award at the Boisdale Music Awards in 2017.

The Irish Cultural Centre is delighted to welcome back Roswell, who played here for a Glór Nua gig here with Melina Malone back in October 2023.

Roswell are Zoë Wren and Jasmine Watkiss, two harmony-obsessed multi-instrumentalists who formed Folk-Americana duo Roswell after an impromptu open mic night in Cambridgeshire in 2018. Within a few months, they had won Purbeck Rising 2018 and released their debut EP ‘Remedy’, which won Fatea’s EP of the Year 2019.

Roswell have supported incredible musicians like John Smith, Calan and Gilmore & Roberts, and played main stage shows at Purbeck Valley Folk Festival, Wimborne Minster Folk Festival and Fête de la Musique in Geneva.

Their second EP, ‘Come Home’, was produced by Dan Wilde and released in February 2020, with a tour including sold-out shows at the Green Note in London, The Stables in Milton Keynes and The Shelley Theatre in Bournemouth.
