Lisa O’Neill brings her singular voice to Belfast International Arts Festival for two intimate performances at the MAC.
⭐️ Tickets on sale Monday 28 April from 10am! ⭐️
Following her recent sold out ‘Symphony for the Moons’ shows at Dublin’s National Concert Hall with the National Symphony Orchestra and London’s Barbican with the Britten Sinfonia in December and a 4-night residency in January at The Gate Theatre, Lisa O’Neill performs two very special shows at the MAC, Belfast, on Wednesday 29 and Thursday 30 October.
It’s been a remarkable few years for the Cavan songwriter. Her acclaimed last album All of This Is Chance ranked highly on critics 2023’s Albums of The Year Lists. Amongst the wealth of praise, Gideon Coe at BBC 6 Music picked it as his Album Of The Year. It was No. 3 in Mojo Magazine’s Folk Albums Of The Year and Bob Boilen at NPR deemed it his No.3 Album of The Year. It also featured in Songlines’, Uncut’s and The Quietus’s Best Albums. May 2023 also saw Lisa make a memorable appearance on Later with Jools Holland.
A raconteur in the truest sense of the word, O’Neill is a five-time BBC Folk Award nominee and her album Heard a Long Gone Song was named The Guardian’s 2019 Folk Album of the Year. Her song ‘Old Note' was recently used in the drama series ‘Say Nothing’.
Lisa has recently released a single which features vocals from Libertines, Peter Doherty - Homeless In The Thousands (Dublin in the Digital Age) - a song she felt compelled to write in response to the growing issue of homelessness in Dublin.
Lisa is currently writing new material for her next album.
