Just a quick thank you to Whelan's for nominating us as Ones to Watch in 2014, we had a blast playing the festival and meeting a bunch of new people too. Thanks to Dave & Bernie for the goodie bags too, they were delicious. Another thank you to Chordblossom for nominating us as Best NI Live Act of 2013, we're immensely proud to be in the company of the likes of ASIWYFA and Little Bear, we're now buckling down on making the show even bigger and better in 2014. Lastly, we've been invited to play the Other Voices music trail in Derry on Fri 7th February. It's a free show, we're on at 10:30pm in Tinney's on Patrick Street. Some other nice stuff in the pipeline for 2014 too, which we'll hopefully have news for you soon on. Hopefully see all you guys soon! Jp. x

Amidships will play main support to Villagers at their Belfast & Derry shows in December.

Twice nominated for the Mercury Prize, and fronted by one of the most talented songwriters to emerge from Ireland in recent decades, Villagers are one of our favourite bands and a stunning live act. Can't wait for these shows.

Enough of the swooning, ticket details are below :-)
