Hot For 2021 Irish Acts: Ailsha
In a world of shuttered music venues and snatched-away opportunities, Ireland’s music community continues to defy the odds – with young, emerging artists defiantly rising above seemingly insurmountable challenges, and flying the flag for their country. This bold energy, independent ethos and genre-defying talent is evident across our list of Hot For 2021 Irish Acts – which features artists from every corner of Ireland.
Ailsha:
The Dublin-based composer and singer-songwriter has absorbed influences from traditional Irish, romantic classical, electronic and heavy metal music to forge her own cinematic sound. Having introduced herself with the sweary (in a good way) ‘Quarantine’, Cathy Davey’s younger sister beguiled radio programmers in October with her follow-up, ‘Ghosted’.
Hear: ‘Ghosted’.
