Gig in the Garden at Rowallane Garden

With a mix of original songs and well-known covers, it’s the perfect chance to discover new music and support Northern Ireland’s emerging artists.

A singer-songwriter local to Saintfield, AOIBHA weaves moody, atmospheric indie-folk with haunting vocals and vivid lyrics. Think misty hills, candlelight, and a touch of gothic romance—her songs feel like stories set to music. Her debut EP Insignificance has been hailed as a powerful first release.

Singer-songwriter Sarah McCreedy, from Holywood, brings a blend of indie, acoustic and folk-inspired songs that explore everything from heartbreak to hope. Her debut album Why am I still here? has already received national attention, with BBC Radio Ulster naming it Album of the Week.

Belfast-based Sarah Ann Rée delivers honest, heartfelt songs inspired by classic folk storytelling. Expect stripped-back melodies, rich harmonies, and lyrics that feel personal and poetic. Her debut EP Life in Pink received widespread radio play and praise for its emotional depth.

Whether you’ve been to Rowallane Garden before or this will be your first visit, this is a unique opportunity to enjoy the garden after hours—lit up, full of music, hot food, drink and buzzing with good energy.
