**** Sorry for our appearance! Please be aware this website is in the process of being updated****
Niamh has been busy over the last few months working on various projects and performing at several festivals, and it is great to see things slowly returning to normal. There is still a way to go, with musicians and festivals alike having to deal with funding issues and a two-year backlog, but we are embracing the light on the horizon, and the chance to finally perform material from Niamh’s latest album, which continues to get lots of airplay and great feedback (check out the press page).
It is timely then to update you all on some of this work! First up is the news that Niamh was the Irish traditional Music Archive’s composer of the month for June, as part of their Saothar series. Now in its second year Saothar is building a collection of contemporary compositions in partnership with composers. Each composition is available as a complete & free learning package, including interactive scores and recordings. Niamh’s contribution which went live at the end of June, can be found here .
