Brigid O’Neill is an award-winning singer songwriter “with a voice that can break your heart at 30 paces” according to BBC Radio Ulster’s Ralph McLean.  She gained stunning momentum in her career with the launch of her latest original album Touchstone -“Magic fully captured on record” (BBC Radio Ulster) ’Impressive” (RnR Mag) “Imagery that will leave you breathless” (Musos Guide) and has since played sold-out headline shows, captivating and gathering fans wherever she plays with her blend of warm folk, blues and roots styles, in addition to performing alongside stars like Ian Archer, Paul Brady, Eddi Reader, Duke Special and Frances Black. On receiving the prestigious Artist Career Enhancement Award from Arts Council of NI, which came hot on the heels of a Roots Radio Singer-Songwriter of the Year nomination, she headed out to Nashville (where she has performed at the world famous Bluebird Café and appeared on the Music City Roots show) and collaborated on exciting new material with Grammy-winning songwriters.

Now on the brink of an Irish and UK tour and working on her next album, Brigid has just returned from Folk Alliance International in Montreal where she was offered a special Award from PRS Foundation to showcase her music.

“She understands the craft of songwriting intuitively and there’s an honesty and integrity in her work that is very special.” – Ralph McLean, BBC Radio Ulster.
