Eleanor McEvoy is Ireland’s greatest female songwriter, her song “A Woman’s Heart”, became
the title track to Ireland’s best selling album, a tide turning collection featuring Ireland’s most
celebrated Female Performers……. 13 albums later, her newest offering is The Thomas Moore
Project.*

Eleanor singer and multi-instrumentalist toured her solo Naked…. Live Show for 2 years, and in
2019 she will bring to The Stage Thomas Moore and More, with songs from the album, previous
works and her special takes on other classics Eleanor, unlike most musicians, typically takes to the stage alone.

She walks in a single pool of light, the stage is set with her instruments, she entrances the audience with her singing, talking
anecdotes and playing, using her own songs and insightful interpretations of other writers. A
brave journey, but one, which helps her bring her music to more distant audiences.
Eleanor’s musical life has taken through traditional Irish music competitions, youth orchestras,
choirs, a music degree in Trinity College Dublin, a full time job as violinist in Ireland’s National
Symphony Orchestra, a role in The Mary Black Band as keyboard player and finally to her solo
career. Her song Sophie from her US album Snapshots has become a beacon and a comfort to
millions touched by anorexia. The previous album Naked Music was a dramatic collaboration
between herself and Painter Chris Gollon.

On the side Eleanor is chair of IMRO (the Irish PRS) and a member of new band Prosecco
Socialist with Dave Rotheray (Beautiful South)

Wolff, Boston Globe
"McEvoy sounds like the sort of woman who might greet you with a bottle of red one night and a rolling pin the
next" ***** Truck and Driver album of the month
