Artist Showcase: Róise Nic Chorraidh

Our second artist this month in our artist showcase. If you know of any bands or singers you’d like us to feature, let us know!

Róise Nic Chorraidh will perform in An Béal Binn, Bray: Clannad NewsRóise Nic Chorraidh is a seán-nós singer who has travelled Ireland singing, and various festivals abroad. Singing in the Donegal style, Róise has picked up prizes at all of Ireland’s major singing festivals and comórtais. Róise starts off performing this year in an Béal Binn, Bray, Co. Wicklow and finished in Cork at Oireachtas na Samhna.

Ever heard ‘Strayed Away’ from Clannad’s ‘Fuaim’ album? The tune is based on ‘An Buachaillín Donn’, a song Róise sings, alternating between it and verses from ‘Strayed Away’. Her repetoire is massive!
