The 2023 Imagine Arts Festival Waterford opened musically last night with a hypnotising display by Irish singer and guitarist Síomha at St Patrick's Gateway Centre. Dancing between folk, jazz, and neo-soul effortlessly taking the audience on an unexpected and unforgettable journey with her soulful melodies. Accompanied by Martin Atkinson Borrull on Keyboards it was a unique experience to hear Síomha's mix of folk and jazz as Gaeilge with her powerful voice on show.

Support on the night was from the Gypsy Jazz Ensemble led by Dylan Bible.
