Ceol sa Chroí: Niamh Keane

Tógadh Niamh Keane, amhránaí agus ceoltóir ildánach, i gclann cheolmhar i gCluain Dolcáin, in iarthar Átha Cliath. D'fhoghlaim sí an veidhlín, an pianó agus an giotár, agus shúigh sí chuici féin gach saghas tionchair cheoil, idir cheol clasaiceach, traidisiúnta, tíre agus popcheoil. Labhraíonn Niamh le Caoimhe faoin dóigh a dtagann na snáitheanna seo uile le chéile ar a céad albam, A Stretch of Light, a léirigh sí féin agus a eisíodh ar na mallaibh.

Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Niamh Keane was raised in a musical household in Clondalkin, west Dublin, playing violin, piano and guitar and absorbing every kind of musical influence from classical and traditional to folk and pop. Niamh chats to Caoimhe about how all these threads come together in her self-produced debut album, A Stretch Of Light, which has just been released.
