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.
Eve Belle:
She’s been active since her mid-teens, but 2020 saw Eve Belle (Murtagh) take a vital step forward with the release of her debut album In Between Moments, hailed by Hot Press as “a superb collection of songs.” A Donegal native, Belle is a fine lyricist, with a knack for catchy melodies. It’ll be fascinating to watch her develop in 2021.
