VILLAGERS IN THE xrtAlive SESSION - MON, SEP 28
Villagers began life as a nameless collection of musical poems, all under the pen of one Conor O'Brien (formerly of Dublin group The Immediate).
The 'Hollow Kind' EP and single 'On A Sunlit Stage' were released through the Any Other City label. These act as the perfect introduction to the sound of Villagers, revealing folk-centred soul songs surrounded by epic pop arrangements.

DAVID KITT IN THE xrtAlive SESSION - WED, SEP 30
David Kitt released his latest album 'The Nightsaver' earlier this year. The album contained some of Kitt's best work to-date, quite an accomplishment when you consider some of his back catalogue. Catch him in Session with Dan this Wednesday.
ELBOW LIVE AT OXEGEN 09 - THURS, OCT 1
The band that have had possibly the best 18 months of their lives! Their most recent studio album 'The Seldom Seen Kid' has been all-conquering. Along with scooping the 2008 Mercury Prize, Elbow have delighted audiences with superb live sets, and with the release of 'Seldom Seen Kid Live At Abbey Road'. They braved the rain and mud at Oxegen 09, and delivered a hugely impressive set.
Recorded by 2fm at the Main Stage, Oxegen on Saturday July 12, 2009
