About it
Saturday
20 February | 8pm | £25
Irish singer songwriter Meadhbh Walsh is about to make good on a promise she made to herself as a teenager. At fourteen she was busking on the streets of Killarney.
A couple of years later she was offered, then lost, a support slot at Killarney's INEC, the venue she had dreamed of playing her whole life. She told herself she would play there one day regardless, and she has since supported two sold out headline nights on that same stage, with a nationwide tour now building toward the night she headlines it herself.
Hailing from North Cork, Meadhbh built a lockdown following in the hundreds of thousands through weekly Facebook livestreams, toured extensively throughout Ireland alongside artists including Dan McCabe and The Whistlin' Donkeys, and crossed the Atlantic for three separate US tours. Her recording career to date has produced two albums, Off By Heart and Unforgotten.
Now under the management of 10 Central Group, Meadhbh is in the studio with acclaimed producer John Reynolds, whose credits include Sinéad O'Connor and Damien Dempsey, recording a body of original music led by her most personal song yet, Irish Woman. Rooted in Irish folk but pushing into rock and contemporary territory, it marks the start of the biggest chapter of her career yet.
