Supergroup
Tired Pony to perform at Bushmills Live
2014, a festival of handcrafted whiskey
and music.
 Music
fans will be thrilled to hear that the
critically-acclaimed supergroup Tired
Pony, which was created by Snow Patrol’s
Gary Lightbody have been confirmed to
appear at the intimate ‘Bushmills Live’
festival on Ireland’s north coast on
June 12th, 2014. It will be the band’s
first ever performance in Ireland.
Lightbody’s appreciation of country
music led to him calling on his friends
within the music industry to help him
make an album and TIRED PONY is the
result. The band features Lightbody;
REM’s Peter Buck; Belle & Sebastian’s
Richard Colburn; and fellow artists Iain
Archer; Jacknife Lee; Scott McCaughey
and Troy Stewart.
‘Bushmills Live 2014’ will be headlined
by breakthrough British act ‘The 1975’
with more acts still to be announced.
Whiskey and music fans will be invited
to the Old Bushmills Distillery on June
11-12 for the world’s only festival of
handcrafted whiskey and music in an
Irish whiskey distillery. 700
festival-goers will witness emerging and
iconic artists sharing the stage for a
series of intimate gigs in age-old
buildings, where the art of making
whiskey has been perfected over
centuries.
The ‘Money-Can’t-Buy’ festival tickets
are not on general release. Instead,
whiskey and music fans can win the
chance of enjoying the unique Bushmills
Live experience, to include flights and
accommodation, by entering a draw at
facebook.com/bushmills. The draw closes
on April 28 (April 18 in Russia).
Bushmills Irish Whiskey Master Distiller
Colum Egan said: "I’m delighted that
Gary is coming back to the distillery
along with Tired Pony. Tired Pony have
had special guests perform with them in
the past. Who knows who will turn up in
June?
"This year’s festival is shaping up to
be the best yet. The combination of
excellent whiskey, appreciated
responsibly, among friends and great
music can’t be beaten. It’s why we
started Bushmills Live in the first
place."
