Reylta is a folk singer songwriter from Galway, Ireland currently based in Dublin. Her music combines sweet & lamenting sounds coupled with a complex alternative view providing the ultimate juxtaposition. She is deeply connected with Irish traditions and heritage: the poetry, the music,

the landscape and the storytelling. These influences have nurtured a unique and haunting perspective, illuminated through poetic lyrics, luscious string arrangements and rich choral harmonies.

The recent BIMM music graduate (songwriting) has been performing with an 8 piece band since 2019. Relyta began writing when she was eleven, with her musical influences including Florence and the Machine, Damien Rice, and Hozier.

Reylta's band is an essential component of her work. The artist composes pieces, and each player brings their unique style, creating unmatched synergy. The band size varies, with each member influencing the tone and emulating trad performers with a classic, melancholic folk pop vibe.

German-Irish singer songwriter Sinead Ann evokes wistful, mystical music influenced by the misty landscapes of Ireland. Sinead Ann's music casts light uponthe shadows through juxtaposing, ethereal melodies. She was awarded the Irish Youth Music Awards BIMM Bursary in 2017. She went on to study a BA in Commercial Modern Music in BIMM Institute Dublin, graduating in 2021. Her career was elevated by her performance in Irish language duo Muirsine alongside fellow musician Muireann Ni Bhaoill. Muirsine won the GRETB award of Excellence and Achievement in 2016. Sinead Ann released her debut single Lemonzest in October 2022. An invitation to perform at Celtic Connections January 2023 followed. Sinead Ann performs as a solo artist and occasionally accompanied by herensemble including the Irish bouzouki and harp. More of her music will be released soon.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
