Whitechurch native Clare Sands, is set to take to the stage at the famous Glastonbury Festival.
Following an electric appearance alongside musical soul brothers Hothouse Flowers last year, the Corkwoman will open the Acoustic Stage at the festival with a headline show on Saturday, June 24.
In September 2022, Clare released her self-titled album to critical acclaim earning her a Best Folk Singer nomination at the RTE Folk Awards and voted The Irish Times ‘Top 5 Folk Albums of 2022.’
Her latest project, Gormacha, is a 4 track EP of carefully crafted macaronic songs in Irish and English to be released throughout this year.
The next release, Dealán Dé featuring Brian Finnegan (Flook) will be released on June 14th.
Sands, who is currently on tour as a special guest to Hothouse Flowers across the UK, is set to return to sunny Somerset this summer to open the legendary stage – alongside Mary Wallopers, Sharon Shannon Trio, Saw Doctors, Glen Hansard and more.
Other upcoming festival appearances include the Stendhal Festival, Cambridge Folk Fest, Belfast Trad Fest and closer to home – Cork Summer Show and Tracton Arts Festival.
