About
“I grew up among the Drumlins where the Annalee River runs through a village called Ballyhaise in County Cavan. Over the decades I’ve toured a lot of this country but not yet every county. One of my influences, Margaret Barry, said she toured the thirty-two counties thirty-two times, up and down, over and back, villages, glens, cities and towns, markets and fairs. To get the ball rolling this September, I look forward to hitting the first of four provinces by bringing my music and my band to play all nine Counties of Ulster, my home province.” – Lisa O’Neill
“Giving voice to the disenfranchised is something she does so well, with a particular affinity for women – “Woman is powerful when not restricted”- she says…. And she is emblematic of this, with a free singularity that can fold in difficult subjects, such as homelessness…” - The Irish Times – live Gate Theatre review
“The Cavan songwriter has grown in stature in recent years as a valued chronicler of the disenfranchised. Songs of social, political and cultural issues preoccupy her as she proves as adept a storyteller as the playwrights long associated with this room.” - The Sunday Business Post - live Gate Theatre review
“O’Neill is a cultural hero in her own right… a modern artist tapped into the ancient.” - New York Times
“You’ll be lucky to hear a better record all year” – The Sunday Times, Culture (5/5 Album Review)
