The Mary Wallopers in Glasgow

The Mary Wallopers are an Irish folk group formed in Dundalk by brothers Charles and Andrew Hendy. They perform traditional songs alongside original material, drawing on pub singing, ballads and punk energy. Their releases include the albums The Mary Wallopers and Irish Rock N Roll, while “Cod Liver Oil and the Orange Juice” and “Frost Is All Over” are among their best-known recordings. The Mary Wallopers broadcast concerts from their family home during the 2020 pandemic restrictions. They later headlined multiple nights at Dublin’s Vicar Street, performed at Glastonbury Festival in 2024 and ended that year with a headline concert at 3Arena.

The Coral are an English rock band formed in Hoylake in 1996. They play psychedelic guitar rock shaped by folk and pop melody, and became known through their self-titled debut, Magic and Medicine, and songs including “Dreaming of You,” “Pass It On” and “In the Morning.” The Coral played Glastonbury Festival while touring their self-titled debut and Magic and Medicine in the early 2000s. Following a hiatus from live work, they returned to UK stages for the Distance Inbetween tour in 2016. The Coral Island tour came later, followed by another UK headline run for Sea of Mirrors.
