THE OCELOTS: The Ocelots are twin brothers Ashley and Brandon Watson from Wexford, Ireland. Building on the folk-rock essence of their debut, the duo are excited to announce the release of their second album, Everything, When Said Slowly, on February 7th 2025. This album unveils a richer, more expansive sound, produced by long-time collaborators Cillian and Lorcan Byrne (Ailbhe Reddy, Susan O’Neill). The narrative woven throughout the album explores themes of Irish migration, the perception of time, love, and the simple joys of cycling. To support the album, the band are delighted to take the the road in the UK for a string of dates around its release.
“Delicious harmonies and stunning storytelling” – NARC
Support from FIONNUALA BRADBURY: Fionnuala Bradbury is a singer songwriter from Manchester. Her sound is inspired by the local folk scene she grew up in, and the jazz music she found a love for later on. Having been studying archaeology for the past few years, she has returned to Manchester to get re-involved in the music scene.
Her part-Irish heritage meant she plays the fiddle, and had the pleasure of learning traditional folk songs from Ríoghnach Connolly. Her recordings of traditional Irish folk songs, made with the help of Mike McGoldrick, have been played on BBC Radio Ulster and BBC Radio 2’s Folk Show.
