Ciara O’Neill

The Linen Hall and Women’s Work are delighted to launch the brand-new EP Woman by Belfast-based folk singer-songwriter Ciara O’Neill. It is the much-anticipated follow-up to her last EP, which saw her single ‘La Lune’ top the BBC Radio Ulster and RTÉ Radio 1 airplay charts and led to her subsequent RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Award nomination. O’Neill’s music is defined by the perfection of her voice and by heartfelt crafted lyricism that never shies away from emotions that are both uncomfortable and universal. This new EP, Woman, is an exploration of
the beauty and complexities of being a woman in modern society.

Looking at herself, her own female relatives and those women in history who have lived lives in the shadows, O’Neill writes about
having a desire for more, not feeling the need to conform to expectations placed on women and having the courage to be visible. Join us for an evening of music and poetry!
