Catherine McGrath + Special Guests Roswell

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.

With Special Guests, Roswell

‘A folk duo whose voices combine to create a seamless flow of rich, harmonic beauty’ ~ Americana UK

Zoë Wren and Jasmine Watkiss launched Folk-ish Americana duo Roswell after an impromptu open mic night in Cambridgeshire. Within a few months, they won Purbeck Rising and released their debut EP ‘Remedy’, which won Fatea EP of the Year. They’re also winners of the Celtic Connections Danny Kyle Competition.

With a harmonic sound like First Aid Kit and Fleetwood Mac, Roswell has supported John Smith, Calan and Gilmore & Roberts, and played main stages at Broadstairs Folk Week, Cambridge Folk Festival and Wimborne Minster Folk Festival. Their second EP ‘Come Home’ included sold-out shows at the Green Note in London, The Stables in Milton Keynes and The Shelley Theatre in Bournemouth. In 2024, Roswell is working on their debut album, to be released later this year.
