Susan O Neill – Fri 15th & Sat 16th December 23

Susan has dedicated the past few years to perfecting her art as a solo artist, and her journey has yielded remarkable results. A songwriter with depths that seem endless, her voice possesses a timeless quality that’s both soothing and intense – a blend of balm and blowtorch. She embodies audacity, exuding the spirit of a true free performer.

Up until now, Susan has been Ireland’s best-kept secret. But all that changed with the release of ‘In The Game,’ her collaborative album with Mick Flannery that shook the music scene to its core.

‘In The Game’ brought Susan into the spotlight, earning her nominations for the Choice Music Prize and the RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards in categories such as ‘Album of the Year’ and ‘Female Folk Artist of the Year.’ The heartfelt and powerful track ‘Chain Reaction’ from the album earned her the coveted Best Original Folk Track award. And let’s not forget her song ‘These Are the Days,’ which garnered a spot on the shortlist for the prestigious ‘Vanda and Young’ Award.

The impact of the collaboration album was nothing short of astonishing, as it became the best-selling Irish independent record of 2021.

Don’t miss your chance to witness the magic of Susan’s live performance at Connollys of Leap. This is an evening that promises to be an unforgettable experience, filled with soulful melodies and pure musical enchantment.
