Illawarra Folk Club presents Eleanor McEvoy in Concert

A MUSICAL ICON COMING TO WOLLONGONG IN FEBRUARY,2027

Eleanor McEvoy is one of Ireland’s most acclaimed singer songwriters, internationally known for her rich body of work and powerful live performances. Her breakthrough came in 1992 when she penned the title track for A Woman’s Heart – Ireland’s best-selling album of all time.

The song was later shortlisted in RTÉ’s Ireland’s Favourite Folk Song and featured in Channel 4’s award-winning series Derry Girls. McEvoy released her debut album on Geffen Records in 1993, followed by global tours and a second album on Columbia Records New York. The lead single, Precious Little, became a top-ten radio hit in the US. Over the years, her work has been covered by the likes of Emmylou Harris, Eliza Carthy, Derek Ryan and Saint Sister, and her song Sophie has become an international anthem in the treatment of eating disorders. Her album Gimme Some Wine, recorded during lockdown, features standout singles like South Anne Street and Scarlet Angels, inspired by her performances with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.

She composed and performed the score for Small Things Like These, the staged adaptation of Claire Keegan’s Booker-nominated novel. Directed by Ben Barnes, the production featured Andrew Bennett (An Cailín Ciúin) and toured theatres in Ireland, London, and Paris from December 2023 to January 2025.

Touring Ireland, Germany and the UK in 2026, Eleanor is returning to Australia in 2027
