Backstage@theroyal (Waterford) returned on Saturday night as Ana Palindrome played the old theatre. Ana Palindromeare are made up of Cork-based multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter Niamh Dalton, multi-instrumentalist Sara Leslie, and sound designer, composer, and musician Ruairí de Búrca. The backstage venue with a flipped stage and signature lighting was a perfect intimate setting for the experimental sound with emphasis on the fiddle and guitar play of Dalton, bass, and fiddle of Leslie all blended by de Búrca.

Support was by emerging talent Stella and the Dreaming.
