The Trad Folkin' Rocks crew lead the Friday night session with a celebration of Irish music old and new, followed by acclaimed songwriter Charlie Hanlon and the atmospheric alternative rock sounds of VERA. Closing the evening are Dark Tropics, whose cinematic pop-noir has earned huge radio support (Radio 1, Radio 2 and RTÉ 2FM, bringing the first day of MOIRO to a spellbinding conclusion.
