Featured Artists

The Prelude are six pals from Derry, who relocated their good time sing-a-long brand of folky rock n’ roll to their adopted hometown of Liverpool. Best friends since childhood, the band formed on the streets of Derry and soon relocated to Liverpool’s thriving music scene where they have honed their songwriting skills and continued to gather fans at live shows.

Folk Rock

Garvan, Charlie, Darren, Ryan, Joe, Aidan and Brian wear their influences on their sleeves. Tales of joy, despair and life resonate with the everyman and permeate their after-hours, whiskey-soaked country-rock jams, calling to mind Dylan, The Band and The Pogues.

With their current album ‘Moving to the Country – Never Coming Back’, the band have cemented their potential and have started to receive accolades and support, not only from the press, but from websites like We7, the digital music website founded by Peter Gabriel.
