Ballyseedy Church Of Ireland.
BALLYSEEDY Church of Ireland will become a concert venue this Thursday when it welcomes folk artists Cinder Well and Jim Ghedi.
The Gothic revival style church, built around 1870, will host the gig from 7.30pm to 9.30pm, which is supported by Kerry County Council through their Arts Act Grant and Community Support Fund.
A member of anarchist folk project Blackbird Raum, Amelia Baker’s time on the circuit with Irish trad-punk group Lankum eventually led her to a small settlement in County Clare, and to the rich dissonance of her music as Cinder Well.

Jim Ghedi and Cinder Well
Cinder Well’s sparse soundscapes and haunting stillnesses of her new album No Summer (on Free Dirt Records) are not meant to be paens to loneliness. Rather, Baker was inspired by the rich musical connectivity of the pub scene in Ireland, and her move from California to County Clare to study traditional music of the region.
Jim Ghedi hails from Sheffield, South Yorkshire and stands out as a potential torch bearer for a new generation of respectful yet experimental performers.
Whilst Jimi’s previous work has often been instrumental, his new album ‘In The Furrows Of Common Place’ is a deeper plunge inside himself to offer up more of his voice to accompany his profoundly unique and moving compositions.
Departing away from previous work, here he draws from social observations, contemporary songwriting, historical & traditional material.
