MUSIC: Dublin singer’s sweet date in the Sugar Club

FRESH from her stunning performance at Other Voices in Dingle, which will be broadcast on TV early this year, Dublin singer–songwriter Ailbhe Reddy has announced her biggest headline show to date when she plays The Sugar Club on Febraury 22.

Ailbhe first began to attract attention when a homemade demo of her song ‘Cover Me’ was used in a Today FM radio advert in 2014.

Later that year her first single, ‘Flesh & Blood’ garnered excellent reviews and was featured as Song of the Day on Folk Radio UK. 

Ailbhe has gone on to feature at almost every major Irish festival line-up in 2016 including Electric Picnic, Other Voices, Body & Soul, Hard Working Class Heroes, Knockanstockan and Spirit of Folk.

With over one million Spotify streams to date for her self- released debut EP ‘Hollowed Out Sea’, Ailbhe is tipped for a major international breakthrough in 2017.

Her Dublin gig will mark the launch of her next release in both Ireland and the UK and coincide with her debut UK live performance. 

 Influential UK industry newsletter Record of the Day recently featured her song ‘Distrust’, stating ‘prepare to be floored….it’s wonderful’.

Ailbhe Reddy is Live at The Sugar Club on Wednesday, February 22 with doors open at 8pm.

Tickets are €14.85.
