Irish singer-songwriter Lisa O’Neill has quietly built her reputation with a unique folk sound, distinctive voice and powerful writing.
Her debut release Has an Album was followed in 2013 by Choice-nominated Same Cloth Or Not. Her third album Pothole in the Sky was released to critical acclaim and is filled with tension and emotion, drawing on tales from the past to illuminate themes of love, loss, heartache and sorrow.
Lisa’s latest release, Heard A Long Gone Song, garnered huge acclaim both at home and abroad, with a 5-star Guardian review, a coveted Best Folk Album of 2019 from the same publication, and the song ‘Blackbird’ featured in Peaky Blinders. She was nominated in four categories at the 2019 UK Folk awards and five categories at the 2019 Irish Folk awards, winning Best Original Folk Song.
“At a time when sameness threatens to drain the world of charm and surprise, Lisa O’Neill stands tall for difference, as an outlier with a mission to frame the world as she sees it and to perform it accordingly. Her voice is her own. No small achievement.”
— The Irish Times“Uncompromising, stunning, soul-shaking stuff.”
— The Guardian’s Folk Album of the Year
