8 p.m.
After captivating audiences across the UK, Australia, Germany, and beyond in 2024, Eleanor McEvoy returns to Ireland for a much-anticipated tour that promises a spellbinding evening of music, storytelling, and raw emotion in 2025.
McEvoy, one of Ireland’s most celebrated singer-songwriters, steps onto the stage bathed in a solitary glow, surrounded by her electric and acoustic guitars, violin, piano, and a small amp. With an intimate, almost theatrical presence, she takes audiences on a journey through her acclaimed catalogue—songs of love, loss, resilience, and hope.
The creator of 'A Woman’s Heart', Ireland’s most beloved folk anthem, McEvoy continues to mesmerize fans with her powerful lyrics and soaring melodies. From heartfelt ballads like 'Sophie', a song that has touched thousands struggling with anorexia, to the evocative storytelling of 'South Anne Street', she brings a deep emotional honesty to every performance.
This tour showcases new material from her upcoming release alongside McEvoy’s signature blend of sharp lyricism, warm humour, and deeply moving songs. Whether reinterpreting classics or unveiling new material, she effortlessly bridges the personal and universal, making every performance feel like an intimate conversation.
“McEvoy has the skills of a first-rate songwriter” – The New York Times
“Once Eleanor McEvoy launched into her fiery set, accompanied by nothing more than her guitar, fiddle and glass-shattering vocal cords, we knew we were in for a fearsome night of music...A lone performer plying a singular trade with considerable élan” - Irish Times
