King Cedar (Stephen Macartney) is an incredible songwriter and wordsmith, but more than that, he’s a nice guy and great craic. He’s a man who truly epitomises the artistic landscape of Bangor. Stephen joins us playing his own original material with a special guest. These special Cedar Sessions are a chance to catch Stephen and his carefully handpicked guests in our intimate Open Arms bar.
Drawing on the storytelling traditions of their Irish heritage, Rufus Coates and Jess Smith write hymns to the shadow side: haunting murder ballads that rise, fall, simmer, and brood—the sound of folk if it descended into the underworld and returned with the blackened truth. The duo has magnetised a cult following along the European touring circuit. Simultaneously masterful and affecting, there’s beauty in the depths—all the more rousing up close and personal.
