“It was an amazing day at the Busker Fleadh, and being from the area made it even more special for me, Smithfield is a Beautiful square and busking is a really great way to fill it, it created a fantastic, family friendly chilled atmosphere, I was blown away with the talent and diversity of music. The audience was amazing and really got involved in the craic!”
“I was absolutely blown away that I won Best Solo Act, winning a recording slot in Windmill Lane recording studios and a support act slot in Whelan’s. Unfortunately, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2019. Feeling helpless, my family received great support from the Irish Cancer Society, so I contacted Whelan’s and organised my own headline gig with all proceeds going to the Irish Cancer Society.
