Mike McGoldrick and Ian Fletcher are currently working together on a new set for this years festival. Over the years Mike has been a member of Toss the Feathers, Flook and Lúnasa, and has performed with Ornette Coleman - the legendary American saxophonist who was one of the major innovators of the free jazz movement of the 1950's and 60's. He has also toured with Afro Celt Sound System, Kate Rusby Band, RTÉ Concert Orchestra, Sharon Shannon and has been a full time member of Capercaillie for the last 9 years. He has released 3 solo albums - morning Rory (1995), fused (2000) and wired (2005) - the latter two albums mixing traditional music with trance and fusion.

Ian first worked alongside Mike as guitarist when they toured Germany with Toss the Feathers in 1994. Soon after Mike joined Ian on his Inner Space project, fusing Electronica, Dub, Techno and roots music from around the globe. Ian then delved deep into the world of Electronica and Techno, producing, DJing and doing live sets across Europe and Japan. At the same time producing film soundtracks ranging from pure Ambience to Breakbeat. Now residing in Spain, Ian has been soaking up Flamenco, Afrobeat Brazilian and Latin music, all the time mixing it up with breakbeats, techno and everything else that comes his way! Expect a trip of global dance music to accompany Mike's pipes and whistles...
