Live Report: Songs From An Empty Room

On Saturday, Songs From An Empty Room took place across five iconic Irish venues. In support of Minding Creative Minds and the Association of Irish Stage Technicians, the live stream's aim was to raise money and awareness for the live events industry during the Coronavirus pandemic.

The event was hosted by Eoghan McDermott and Jenny Greene. Each participating artist brought their own exceedingly special talent to the live stream. Featuring knockout performances by Noel Hogan of The Cranberries, The Coronas, Soulé and Jafaris, the stream featured some of Ireland's most exciting new artists, and some of its best legacy acts.

Picture This opened the show by performing their smash hit 'Unconditional', Lisa McHugh sang her latest country-pop single 'You're Gonna Get Back Up', LYRA took the stream by storm from Cork's Cyprus Avenue with the ethereal yet anthemic 'Falling', and Denise Chaila's performance nearly brought down the house, as she usually does.
