King Coma
Formed in earnest early last year, King Coma have taken the first few tentative steps to making themselves a household name in the past several months. Named as the Hotpress Band of the Fortnight on the strength of a very catchy demo, the Strabane quintet have gone on to create quite a reputation among music aficionadoes across the North – not least because of their energetic live performances and a blast of air-play on radio stations across the country and beyond. With a blend of melodic and at the same time, stripped down guitar-based rock, the five ladshave a confidence and a swagger which belies their (relatively) tender years.
Band members: Chris Sharkey on vocals and air-guitar, Steven O'Doherty and Brian Quinn on guitar, Shawn McDermott on bass and Giulio Vaccaro on drums.
Emma Gallagher
Emma Gallagher is a talented young singer songwriter from Muff in Co Donegal. She has recently won the Miss Teen Donegal Talent show and was a finalist in the XYZ talent show performing all her own material.
