A Triple Bill
♥ MOLLY
Over a year on from the release of her critically-acclaimed debut album ‘The House of David’, Molly O’Mahony returns to Levis’ Cornerhouse , to showcase some new material, and to share some stripped back versions of songs from the album.
“Stunning, impressive and evocative…” Alexandra Anderson, Hotpress
“A multi-hyphenate artist…her debut album ably showcases this with a collection of songs that,… document years of a life fully lived, loved, lost and then, gradually, reclaimed..” Tony Clayton Lea, The Irish Times
“Mingling romantic vignettes with loving dedications to platonic friendships, sibling adoration and familial loyalty, her undeniably rich, soothing voice tells each story with passion, delicacy and care.” Kate Brayden, Hotpress

♥ SASHA
Sasha Samara is an exciting, new voice in indie pop music. Coating her music in an endearing honesty, she threads together observations and exclamations that are underlined by a thrilling specificity. All of this is achieved through open and soaring vocals reminiscent of Hayley Williams and writing with the characteristic clarity of Maggie Rogers.
With support from PRSF funded ‘Scratch My Progress’ program, and a Northern Irish Music Prize for Best New Artist in 2020, Sasha has been carefully cultivating her debut EP, which she released in May 2023. It received support from HotPress and Nialler9, as well as radio play from BBC Radio Ulster and Cool FM. The lead single, ‘Sobering Up’ was selected as Tracy Clifford’s Track of the Week on RTÉ 2FM and was featured on their playlists throughout the summer.
