The Bonk is an experimental music project led by songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Philip Christie. Taking elliptical rhythms and repetitive ritualistic wordplay as a framework, the group uses improvisation to explore the fringes of traditional forms. Their lives shows have become increasingly in demand “The Bonk are one of Ireland’s most interesting and experimental outfits today” - The Thin Air . The Bonk will be supported by Clara Tracey, Fermanagh Born songstress who cut her teeth performing jazz in Parisian cafes and released her debut album Black Forest in 2022 to great critical acclaim.
