Shane Howard & band will perform a special CD Launch at the Flying Saucer Club on Friday 27th February. Be treated to an array of Howard songs from his new CD entitled ‘Deeper South’ which is a musical postcard from ‘the edge of the world’ – the unique southern coast of Australia. The album features songs full of music and poetry that are deep and dark yet illuminated by great shafts of light. Shane was the founding member of the legendary Australian band ‘Goanna’, known for their chart-topping song ‘Solid Rock’. Supporting Shane on the night will be Irish born, singer songwriter, Aine Tyrrell. Be sure not to miss the incredible talent that is Shane Howard!
“He sounds as though he has drunk from the same fountain that gave the world Henry Lawson, Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan”

About Aine Tyrrell…
Aine’s music cradles the spirit of her native homeland, and tips the cap to a notable family history of Irish music tradition. Ache, honesty, and elated melodies, garnishing rhythms which a thousand years of ancestry have slammed foot to floor boards to, in both celebration and protest. Australia’s historical lineage, and love of all things Irish, stands as testament to the accolades and support she is now garnering here in her new homeland, having procured the honour of Queenscliff Music festivals ‘Emerging Talent 2014′ mantle, along with receiving the invaluable and ongoing mentorship from our own revered songstress, Clare Bowditch. Aine’s journey has only just begun as this unique talent continues to infiltrate the hearts and minds of music lovers everywhere. For more information visit www.ainetyrrell.com/home
