Saint Sister
Connolly’s of Leap presents… Saint Sister Thursday – September 12th, 2019 Tickets : €15 + booking fee ____________________________________ Saint Sister are a duo from the North of Ireland. Since forming in 2014 they have quickly established themselves as one of the most talked about bands in Ireland. 2015’s ‘Madrid’ was a breakout success, playlisted on BBC Radio 1, RTE and across European radio, enabling them to tour extensively around Ireland, UK and mainland Europe. Festival highlights at Glastonbury, Electric Picnic and Latitude and support slots with The National, Lisa Hannigan and Hozier have secured their reputation as a phenomenal live band. Critically acclaimed, they have won support from key tastemakers at NPR, The Guardian, The Independent (UK) and Billboard Magazine. At home they were voted the “Best Irish Act” by the readers of The Irish Times, and nominated for the Choice Music Prize Song of the Year in 2016. Their debut album ‘Shape of Silence’ was released last October to rave reviews and they embarked on a 50 date world tour, across the USA, Canada, Australia and Europe to promote it. The band were nominated again for the 2018 Choice Music Prize, both for Song of the Year and Album of the Year. They return to the USA in May for a month long tour with Henry Jamison.

Sylvie graduated from the renowned Berklee School Of Music in Boston, signed her first record deal and landed a song placement in Grey´s Anatomy. Marriage and/or motherhood have scattered the girls around the world, but they are pleased to announce their second “in the round” songwriters circle (dubbed “Songwriters On Tap”) coming up at The Roisin Dubh in Galway on Thursday, September 19th, The DC Music Club in Dublin on Friday, September 20th, and Connolly´s of Leap in West Cork on Saturday, September 21st. Akin to their first tour of Ireland in 2017, the shows will be all-acoustic affairs with everyone on stage together “in-the-round-style,” with banter, stories, and harmonies to boot! Special guest Adam Marcello (Katy Perry, American Idoland Saucy Monky) will be sitting in on percussion for the Dublin and West Cork shows. Fans of Saucy Monky…
