This part of the festival highlights a burgeoning underground Irish scene, with New Weird Éire presenting Elaine Howley, improvising electropop group Acid Granny and sound healer Maïa Nunes.

Vocalist, musician and producer Elaine Howley is renown for her involvement in a multitude of bands in Cork City’s vibrant scene, most notably as singer in psychedelic rock group The Altered Hours. In her solo work, Howley blends deep synths, analog beats and emotive melodies to create her unique tapestry, mixing digital recording with cassette loops and analogue synthesisers.

Acid Granny’s performance art and music project primarily exists in an electrified shopping trolley. Acid Granny will bring their wholly unique, ephemeral art onto the streets of London, with surprise performances around the capital to be announced on the day of the show.

Maïa Nunes is an Irish-Trinidadian artist and sound healer in training whose interdisciplinary performance work merges textiles and written text with movement, installation and sound to create multi-textural and immersive performance environments. Maïa’s work explores ancestral heritage, the transformative and world-building potential of performance, and song as a liberation and healing practice.
