Nessi Gomes - Dublin - Nov 17

Nessi returns to Dublin on November 17th at the Pepper Canister Church.

“Hauntingly atmospheric and lushly textured nods to Bjork & Kate Bush” - Paul Lester – The Guardian

Born on the tiny Island of Guernsey to a Portuguese family, Gomes channels influences from both sides of her ethnicity, blending the essence of the traditional, emotional and ‘larger than life’ Fado folk music with British progressive modern inspiration.

Diamonds & Demons is the debut album by musician Nessi Gomes, a composer and lyricist of rare invention and beauty. Ensuing tales of darkness and light allow a deeper exploration of the human condition, psyche, collective fears and torments. Nessi and her producer Duncan Bridgeman ('1 Giant Leap’) together dug an uncharted tunnel into the artist's turbulent heart and soul. The album was recorded following a successful fundraising campaign in April 2015 during which more than $50,000 was raised. Nessi toured in the wake of the campaign, playing in 25 European countries in the last 6 years including major festivals in Europe.

“A record that is at once lustrous and shadowy, mysterious and magical, an exercise in shaping beauty out of despair.”
