With a career spanning over four decades, she continues to captivate audiences with her unique blend of "whisky-blurred, smoke-seared" notes and the sardonic wit reminiscent of icons like Billie Holiday and Edith Piaf.

This performance follows the success of her latest album, Repeat Rewind (2024), which was named Album of the Year by RTÉ’s John Creedon and ranked among the Top 5 Jazz Albums of the Year by The Irish Times.

Fans can expect an evening that dissects "adult disappointments" with a voice that remains, at 69, "rich, authentic, and very much her own".
