Lisa O’Neill @ The Sugar Club 30/12/13

~ Selina Guinness

I heard this voice on the radio about a month ago. It was like getting washed with a pail of water – a cracked pane in the window and frost outside.  Yesterday was my birthday, so we went to hear Lisa O’Neill play at the Sugar Club.  I could try and describe her extraordinary performance, the humour of her song-writing, the range of her voice but there’s little point.  Just treat yourself to the album:  Same Cloth or Not.  Here’s a taster to wish you all a Happy 2014!

  2. True! I thought the references to the Border Fox – Dessie O’Hare – might prick your ears up too.

    I’m off into town next week to search out ‘Irish Nationalist Women’: sorry I can’t join you to celebrate its launch. x.
