In Photos: Ones To Watch 2011 - Hunter-Gatherer / Cloud Castle Lake / Great Lakes Mystery / Thread Pulls @ Whelans, Dublin (13.01.11)

The second night of Ones To Watch, a new mini-festival showcasing rising Irish talent, brought four of the country's hottest acts to the main room at Dublin's Whelans. Hunter-Gatherer, Cloud Castle Lake, Great Lakes Mystery and Thread Pulls all made strong arguments for this being another exciting year in Irish music. Mark Earley was on hand to capture a few shots of all four bands for us - click on any of the images below to load a slideshow of his photos. Ones To Watch 2011 continues until Saturday.
