Bantum
Cork producer Ruairi Lynch AKA Bantum is a Choice Music Prize-nominated electronic artist, arranger, composer and remixer. Most recently, Bantum has teamed up with Loah on a series of singles and live shows, and has made tunes together with God Knows, Farah Elle and many more.
Strongest Thing:
God Knows
God Knows is rapidly becoming one of the most electrifying souls in music in Ireland. An MC with no concern for boundaries, he has consistently smashed all live-shows and guest appearances around the country. Along with being the founding member of Shannon’s Random Acts Of Kindness collective and one third of Rusangano Family, his unique MC fusion of grime, rap and spoken word has firmly established him as one of the most formidable front-men in Ireland.
Crown:
Denise Chaila
Denise Chaila is an Afro-Diasporan rapper, singer and poet. She hails from Chikankata, Zambia and is now based in Limerick, Ireland. Her music blends spoken word and rap to give voice to a transatlantic odyssey exploring identity, belonging, and home from the heart and mind of a diasporan dreamer. She uses her hyphenated identities to weave a narrative spanning continents, cultures and genres to “make space for what doesn’t yet ‘make sense’”. Her music marries art with a passion for justice and social change to build space for often forgotten stories and voices in dynamic and compelling ways.. Her unique take on rap and spoken word has firmly established her as one of the most important voices in Ireland.
Copper Bullet:
Celaviedmai
Celaviedmai is a Galway rapper becoming one of the most influential and most recognised names in Irish music industry and internationally after features from global platforms like Vice, Notion and New York Times.
She opened up for well-known artists such as Lil Wayne, Mac Miller, Hoodie Allen, Tinchy Stryder, Sneakbo, Section boyz, Jimothy Lacoste and recently Jafaris.

Thursday November 28th
Nealo + Special guests @ The Well (7.30pm)
Nealo is a hip hop artist cut from a different cloth. Having spent 10 years touring in hardcore punk bands, he settled down, got married and went off to college to get a law degree. After a few years working in a solicitors firm, he heard the calling to return to music, but this time in a completely different way.
The Dublin born rapper & singer began making beats and writing lyrics in 2018 as a form of catharsis to find a home for his thoughts and poems on paper. Over the course of the next few months he managed to sell out 3 headline Dublin shows and finished the year closing the Dublin Literary Festival in a memorable night in the GPO. Nealo’s laid back blend of introspective hip hop over jazz-influenced beats is a complete contrast to what you would expect from an ex hardcore punk vocalist, but it has worked its magic to carve him out a loyal following, in Dublin.
