Lisa O’Neill

With a BBC Folk Awards nominations and Guardian’s Folk Album of the Year in 2019, it is fair to say that Lisa O’Neill is one of the most evocative songwriters in contemporary Irish music today. Fresh off 2018’s collection Heard a Long Song Gone, The Wren EP in 2019 and an adaptation of Bob Dylan’s “All the Tired Horses” for the final scene of epic TV drama Peaky Blinders, O’Neill’s latest album, the beautiful, resonant All Of This Is Chance, was released to huge critical acclaim in 2023. All Of This Is Chance takes Lisa’s inimitable voice to greater heights, or depths, depending on which way you look at it.
