RTE Radio 1 Folk award nominee (Best Emerging Artist Category 2022) Ciara O’Neill releases her new EP ‘Woman’ and celebrates a live launch at The Linen Hall, Belfast, 4th May.

Her recent celebrated singles ‘Woman’ and ‘Mother’ both received extensive radio play in the UK and Ireland whilst also appearing on the RTE Recommends list for several weeks.

Produced by Dan Byrne-McCullough and co-written with award-winning songwriter Ciaran Lavery, Ciara describes the 4 song EP as “a deep dive into the world of Women, these songs are the most open and vulnerable I have been as a songwriter. The songs deal with my desire to live a life on my own terms without societal pressures and the fear of being visible, aiming to always just speak my own truth.”

If Ciara O’Neill’s music has one central theme it is her voice, one that silences a room with the first note as well as her heartfelt crafted lyricism never shying away from emotions that are both uncomfortable and universal. Her new EP will be sure to appeal to fans of her older material as well as fans of other well-loved artists Lisa Hannigan and Juliet Turner.

To celebrate the release Ciara will launch her EP with special guest Ciaran Lavery at the historic Linen Hall Library, Belfast 24th May 2024.

Ciara is supported by the PRS Women Make Music fund.
