Emeli Sandé is a Scottish born soul, RnB recording artist and songwriter who was behind some of the biggest Pop songs of recent times having worked with the likes Tinie Tempah, Professor Green, Tinchy Stryder, Cheryl Cole & Susan Boyle. She recently supported Coldplay across Europe and heads out across the UK on her second headline tour throughout April 2012 before returning to Ireland this August to Belsonic on Thursday 16th August.

Following a string of UK dates with Ed Sheeran, a self-confessed superfan, Foy Vance has just returned to Los Angeles where he is putting the finishing touches to a new album he has recorded with Northern Irish producer David Holmes. Some song titles include‘Something in the Water’, ‘Be The Song’ and ‘Midnight Starlet’. The new material finds Foy in an introspective mood with a deeper, textured sound bathed in synths and atmospheric soundscapes. Foy’s soulfulness is intact with subtler tones and vocals of elegiac quality

In addition to Foy's recordings with Holmes, he is also working on a rootsy soul record. It will be much more in-line with his debut album ‘Hope’, showcasing both Foy's mesmerising voice and incredible songwriting. Free sample downloads of previously unheard material will be available from foyvance.com

Tickets from £22.50 on sale Friday 16th March.
