Lisa O'Neill plays down in the Hollow, tomorrow night, in Blake's. The playlist below is of some of her finest work and takes great strength from living Irish trad, folk, sean-nós and keening influences
It's a coup for the between the bridges pub, a Victorian shrine to all things cultural for generations. to host the pride of Ballyhaise, County Cavan on Sunday night beneath the picture of Gaby McArdle that adorns the wall above the lightly crackling coal fire. I heard her myself when Enniskillen poet and RTÉ broadcaster John Kelly [also in the separate video above] hosted an incredible 1916 centenary concert at the Festival Hall in London in the presence of then President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins. The intimacy of a Fermanagh cultural shrine in front of new friends and fans from the neighbouring county should hopefully suit Lisa more than well.
