Meadhbh Walsh is a 23-year-old folk artist from North Cork who has quickly become a standout voice in Irish music. Since the lockdown, she has developed a worldwide following through her captivating live streams, collaborations with some of Ireland’s biggest artists, and a string of powerful original releases.

With over 250,000 followers across her social media platforms, Meadhbh has transformed an online presence into a thriving touring career. Performing alongside her talented band, she has played to packed venues across Ireland, Glasgow, the USA, and Dubai, earning acclaim for her emotive vocals and authentic sound.

Her most recent album, On My Own, debuted at Number 1 on the Irish main charts, showcasing her talent for blending traditional Irish folk with fresh, heartfelt songwriting.

==================

The potluck is optional, but it is a great chance to connect others in the audience and maybe even share a meal with the artist. It also helps ensure the artist isn't having to have a meal from a gas station. We'll provide the plates, bowls, silverware, napkins, and, if you need it, serving spoons. Feel free to bring anything you'd like--an entrée, appetizer, dessert, or drink to share. Bring something you will enjoy eating, because if you enjoy it, it is likely others will as well.
