In March 2018, Niamh recorded a special album in honour of the American singer and musician Eva Cassidy, Niamh Strong sings Eva Cassidy. This album will form the core material for the concert.

All proceeds from the event will go to Teach Tearmainn, a non-profit organisation in Kildare town with charitable status, serving women and children who are experiencing domestic violence and abuse.

The concert will predominantly feature local women in music and its fundraising target will be to support women who access the services of Teach Tearmainn.

Tickets for the Songbird show sell from €30.00 and are available here.
