BELFAST - The streets of Belfast are flooded with people looking to get their music fix... of every type. The fourth annual celebration of Belfast's Free Range Music Festival is currently ongoing and we caught some of the acts earlier today. Just to give a sample of the diversity (not to mention the high quality acts) this Festival offers, check out our two-minute clips on Clio & Chloe, The Hips and Pete Witham & The Cozmik Zombies.

Clio & Chloe are 17 and 14, respectively. Their light, playful, sometimes ethereal duets were complemented by their friend Jimmy on guitar. This is some sweet music and it's easy to see these girls having a successful musical career together some day.

The Hips are a six-piece band playing some rockin' dance-party music in a church...no less. They are rhythm and bass driven with funky sax and guitar and rounded out by fabulous vocal harmonies.

Pete Witham & The Cozmik Zombies got the entire American Legion Hall stomping with their Rockabilly/Psychobilly. Playing original roots music with "witty lyrics, theatrical delivery and a heavy dose of chicken plucking stomp" these guys had everyone on the dance floor hopping at 2:00 in the afternoon.

Also new this year for the music lover was the WERU Music & Gear Sale down at the Belfast Boathouse. It was a record and CD yard sale extravaganza.

Not to miss tonight (I'm told) is O'Death at 7:15 p.m., which draws on traditional folk, bluegrass, punk, gypsy music, metal, swing and jazz stylings.

Lastly, Three Tides will round it all out again at 9:00 p.m. with an epic outdoor party hosted by Portland promoter HillyTown, featuring live sets from Ava Luna, Leapling and Leaves, Leaves.
