To mark twenty years since the release of Bright Eyes’ I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning, Joel Harkin will be joined by a seven-piece band and special guests to perform the classic album in its entirety.

Just as resonant now as they were in 2005, Conor Oberst’s sprawling lyrics on I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning explore perennial themes of isolation, nihilism, American imperialism, and that last stubbornly inextinguishable spark of hope. Sonically, the album charts a course through popular music from Beethoven, to the vigour of 1960s protest songs, to desolate country of the 1970s, and on through the alternative music of the 1990s and 2000s. This talented collection of friends and collaborators will faithfully recreate these ten songs about being very young and feeling very old.

Joel Harkin is a musician from Convoy, Co. Donegal who has made a home for himself in Belfast’s music scene. He has loved Bright Eyes for half of his life so far. He’s been looking forward to this for ages.

“Let’s f*ck it up, boys. Make some noise!”

Led by singer and songwriter Nick Corbin, New Street Adventure released two albums on the legendary Acid Jazz Records, producing soul-fuelled tunes cut with a distinctly British edge that saw Nick hailed by The Guardian’s Tim Jonze as having “an innate understanding of classic songwriting”.

The band toured the UK and Europe several times, headlining the likes of London's Jazz Cafe and 100 Club, Hamburg's Mojo Club and sharing the bill with the likes of Lee Fields & The Expressions, The Milk, Leroy Hutson and The Rifles, before separating in early 2018.

Carmy Love

Soul singer Carmy Love launched her solo career in 2021, with her debut 45 'Rebel / Thinkin' About You' on Big AC Records selling out prior to its official release and gaining praise from Craig Charles (6 Music), Robert Elms (BBC London) and Norman Jay (Soho Radio) amongst many others.

Born and raised in North West London, Carmy had a rich musical upbringing: Her Mother and Step-Father were DJs on several underground stations including Roots, Unique and Flava Radio. The likes of Janet Kay, Louisa Marks and Chaka Khan all featured heavily during her formative years, whilst an early grounding in Gospel singing developed her vocal style and stage craft.

Having also sung with Cool Million, PM Warson, Charles and House Gospel Choir, Carmy was also an original member of New Street Adventure, making a major contribution to “No Hard Feelings” - NSA’s debut album on Acid Jazz - with her stunning backing vocals elevating the record to modern soul classic status.

The Gold Tips

The Gold Tips blow a non-stop soul hurricane. They emerged out of Belfast, fully formed, not too long ago. Their distinctive, righteous sound, created and driven by frontman Eamonn McNamee, is soaked in a deep love of Sam Cooke, Stax & Rock ‘n’ Roll and has already seen them pack clubs and carry them to festival main stages.

The band opened for the legendary Nile Rodgers & Chic to a sell-out crowd at Custom House Square, Belfast in August 2021 and Van Morrison on the same stage in 2022.

Their debut album ‘Parade’ released in February last year, is a 9 track, horn-drenched, glorious squall forged in the great sounds of the past and sounding absolutely of the moment.

Aaron Craig

Aaron Craig is a Belfast-based musician, singer, and songwriter. Influenced by the energy of rock with emotion of soul. Drawing inspiration from the rich musical heritage of various genres, he plays music that is both timeless and fresh.

An evening of genre-defying, humorous and hard-hitting music.

Boundary-pushing rappers from the Birmingham hip-hop scene – Joel the Custodian, Kosyne and Barrowclough – team up with avant-garde classical composer Anselm McDonnell.

Central to the concert is a performance of their collaborative theatre work Politics of the Imagination, which explores concepts of utopia, political dogmatism, and bitterly opposed worldviews. Commissioned by the London Symphony Orchestra and described in a 5-star review from The Morning Star as having, “all the potential to be realized as a full theatrical Hamilton-style British success… a hugely memorable piece,” Politics of the Imagination asks the question: how can imagination and playfulness inform our approach to political problems? The event features a panel discussion with the artists about their collaborative work, and solo sets from each rapper.

Setting the Scene:

In the rural constituency of Nether Whittaker, local politician Steven Bavington-Smythe believes he has all the answers to the post-Brexit, post-pandemic economic slump his town is facing: a government investment in his wife’s tech company to create jobs and level up the area. After grappling with several journalists at a press conference over the issue, he is accosted by an activist (and old schoolmate) as he enters the elevator. Their bickering is observed by an enigmatic lift attendant, who knows that not everything is as it seems in this particular elevator…

Meet the Artists:

Kosyne is a rapper, producer and label owner based in Birmingham, and has been releasing music and performing around the country since the early 2000s. Within the hip-hop scene he has supported artists such as Pharoahe Monch, Ghostface Killah, MF DOOM and more. He was one of the founders of underground label EATGOOD Records and was also creator of LOUISDEN, a popular hip-hop producer network and curated beats event/label. In 2024 he released his debut album ‘I Was Here The Whole Time…(some rap stuff by Kosyne)’.

Barrowclough grew through the cracks of the Birmingham hiphop scene in the late 90s and was part of the pioneering rap crew Michaelis Constant. A solo album and a couple of EPs materialised in the new millennium, but since 2020 he has worked on larger narrative and experimental project. He released the Boudicca Bap EP in 2020 (as Boudicca Hill) and then, in 2024, he unleashed two narrative rap projects- avant garde classical music/hiphop hybrid ‘Politics of The Imagination’ and a new solo album, ‘The Riddle & The Spyglass’.

Joel the Custodian is a Birmingham-based filmmaker, writer and rapper. As well as releasing various rap albums and EPs since 1997, Joel has promoted UK hip-hop acts and co-ordinated gigs and music video shoots. Joel co-wrote and directed medieval rap film ‘The Quickener’, a one-of-a-kind period drama in which all the dialogue in spoken in rap and poetic verse. In 2022 he released two albums of unrelenting lamentations, ‘SXXTStorm’ and ‘PANDÜZIMA’. His work explores courage and cowardice, the specter of death and wild animal encounters. His current inspirations are rapper Billy Woods and activist-artist Nadya Tolokonnikova.

Anselm McDonnell is an Irish/Welsh composer based in Belfast. His music has been performed in fifteen countries, available on fourteen CDs (including three solo albums), and he has been commissioned by the London Symphony Orchestra, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, BBC Singers, BBC Concert Orchestra, NSO Ireland, the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany, Crash Ensemble, HRSE, BBC Radio 3, British Council, Belfast City Council, Galway City of Culture, and the National Concert Hall Dublin. His wide range of interests have led to multimedia and multi-genre work in collaboration with rap artists, lighting designers, theologians, poets, filmmakers, fashion designers, dancers, and actors. His music has been described as, “abrasive and compelling” (Irish Times), “bristling with energy” (GoldenPlec), “bright as fluorescent light” (Journal of Music), “a wide musical imagination with a vision to match” (Morning Star), and “perhaps the contrasts and complexities that it contains are a musical reflection of the multi-layered nature of what it means to be a composer in a community as complex as Northern Ireland.” (Robert Hugill)

Hailed by critics and fans alike as a one of the finest songwriters of his generation, Dean Friedman has achieved legendary, pop-icon status for chart-topping hits, Ariel, Lucky Stars, Lydia, McDonald’s Girl and more.

Friedman returns to the stage armed with a stunning collection of his insightful and compelling, true-to-life ‘story songs’ - songs of pathos and humor that deal with family, friends, neighbors, work and the seemingly trivial, yet ultimately essential stuff of everyday life.
