'Beautiful' Gavin Glass, Radio Nova
'Bathed in slow shimmer atmosphere and a deep ethereal vocal, Nightsong is a haunting offering from Niamh Keane with a deep dark sound' The Last Mixed Tape
Niamh Keane is a singer-songwriter, violinist, guitarist and pianist from Clondalkin, Co. Dublin. Her original music is acoustic folk and spotlights her voice. 2023 saw the release of her first single in two years titled 'Imprints'; a song that bares the soul and the impressions that loved ones leave on your life. Keane's influences include Madison Cunningham and Declan O'Rourke and she is inspired to write emotive and melodic songs that weave stories and beautiful sonic arrangements.
Recent live performances included a double headline folk concert with legendary songwriter John Spillane for the Dublin Simon Community and a live television performance as a session violinist for U2's Bono and the Edge. Awarded funding by South Dublin County Councils Local Live Performance Scheme, she has established herself as a musical force in her own community by gathering local people together in libraries and cafes for music performances. She has played support slots for Irish acts such as KILA, Damien Dempsey, Stocktons Wing, Emma Langford, and new Irish trad band Wickerlight. To date, she has been nominated as a finalist in the National Christie Hennessy Songwriting Contest among 400 applicants and received 2nd place in the Pan Celtic National Song Contest. She has regularly performed at the Ruby Sessions & Electric Picnic Festival.
