Brigid O'Neill
Northern Ireland
Recent years have seen Co. Down singer songwriter Brigid O’Neill gaining a deserved reputation as one of Ireland’s finest songwriters. Reviews of her critically acclaimed latest release The Truth & Other Stories have reaffirmed that the gifted artist is one of the most versatile, unique and fearless storytellers on the island. Described by Fiachna O’Braonáin RTÉ, as a “beautiful songwriter with great empathy and sensitivity” Brigid’s music effortlessly weaves elements of folk, country and jazz into relatable tales of happiness, heartbreak and the human condition. Whilst echoes of artists such as Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss and Mary Black come to mind, O’Neill’s voice and sound is very much her own. Together with band members - the legendary bassist with brilliant bvs Nick Scott, BIMM Dublin graduate Cian McGrory (guitar) she will be performing her own unique set of country folk with a dash of jazz and a nod to roots.
