Dominie Hooper is a London-based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist crafting spellbinding music rooted in folklore, ritual, and emotional transformation. Her songs simmer with raw intensity and lyrical barbs, blending growling cello, textured guitar, and collective vocals into something dark, unsettling, and beautiful.

Her debut single for Lost Map Records, Land, produced by Ben Hillier (Depeche Mode, Nadine Shah), is a powerful meditation on healing and self-reclamation. Written while reflecting on her upbringing in the wilds of Dartmoor, the track conjures a landscape of isolation, memory, and grounded magic.

‘It’s about choosing the path of healing, again and again,’ Dominie explains. ‘Magic, folklore and myth offer archetypes through which we can flip our own script.’

Dominie’s sound draws comparisons to the brooding drama of PJ Harvey and John Parish, the raw emotional weight of Magnolia Electric Co., and the timeless power of Richard & Linda Thompson. Her commanding voice and blistering live band have already earned her support slots with This Is The Kit, multiple UK headline tours, and appearances at festivals including Shambala, Deer Shed, and Moseley Folk.

With early support from BBC 6Music, BBC Introducing, Radio 2, and RTÉ 2, plus backing from Help Musicians and PRSF, Dominie is poised for a breakout year.

Her upcoming debut album, In This Body Lives, due for release on Hallowe’en 2025, promises to deepen the spell. As Under the Radar Magazine put it: ‘The breadth of her talent is immediately apparent.’

‘Endlessly engaging and thrilling’ – Guy Garvey, BBC 6 Music

‘Absolutely beautiful’ – Shaun Keaveny

Main support comes from Séamus Óg. Séamus Óg is a boundary-pushing Irish musician from Carrickfergus whose roots in traditional music, storytelling, and island life shape a sound both timeless and strikingly original. Bursting onto the Manchester folk scene with his albums Best Masala Tea and Terry’s Síbín, Séamus has gone on to share stages with the likes of Brìghde Chaimbeul, Chris Brain, Ríoghnach Connolly, and Mikey Kenney.

His most recent release, Haul The Pots (out 2 May), has already earned multiple features and critical acclaim, further cementing his reputation as a distinctive new voice in contemporary folk. A key part of that voice is his rare and self-adapted instrument, the cittern, with shimmering tones, lend his music a hypnotic, otherworldly quality. Supported by BBC, RTÉ, Celtic FM, and Radio Fáilte, Séamus crafts rich, harmony-laden songs that draw listeners into a dreamlike world — where tales of land, love, and longing unfold with quiet power and poetic charm.

And opening the show is Coruja Jones. Coruja Jones is a Manchester-based songsmith who makes dreamy, indie-folk – beautiful songs combined with intricate, delicate guitar work into cavernous reverbs, which take aim at your heart.

He has been touring music from his latest record Undo, working with producer Sam Vicary (The Cinematic Orchestra). The EP delves into the healing process in different forms. His forthcoming 2027 album called Big Feelings will also be produced by Sam, with themes exploring the journey of being a new father, and strong female figures who have shaped his life.
