What a great music night in Castlereagh! As part of the Belfast Nashville Songwriter Festival 2011, Castlereagh Arts was immensely pleased to host the ‘In the Round’ Concert featuring Chas Sandford, Dominic O’Neill and Antoin Glacain on 23rd February.
With songs recorded by Rod Stewart, Roger Daltrey, Brooks & Dunn, Alison Krauss, Chas Sandford is a top Nashville hit writer and performer.
Chas is a veritable mine of knowledge about music and songwriting, and he enchanted the enthusiastic audience with some pearls of wisdom during an intimate Songwriting workshop, which took place before the concert. He also performed Missing You and Talk to Me for them - It was absolutely incredible to have in Castlereagh the songwriter of Missing You, one of the most played songs of all time!
The audience increased considerably after the workshop, everyone couldn’t wait for the ‘In the Round’! Dominic O’Neill and Antoin Glacain joined Chas and performed their songs, which resulted in a bunch of pretty melodies, alt-country & Americana songs!Dominic is a member of Leeward Side (four ex-members of acclaimed psychedelic country rockers The Delawares), and he launched his debut solo EP Turpentine on that very night.
A great writer of original lyrics and melody, Antoin’s songs are reminiscent of the biting words and social commentary of early Dylan and Christy Moore. During ‘In the Round’ he also performed his single, Mouth of The River, dedicated to Belfast.
