Perhaps best known for writing Only A Woman’s Heart, the title track of an anthology album that has gone on to be the best-selling album in Irish history, Eleanor McEvoy returns to Australia this month for the first time in years.
She has a whole catalogue of fabulous songs and is celebrated as a performer wordwide.
Her only appearance on the Central Coast will be at Woy Woy, in a concert presented by Troubadour Folk Club.
As McEvoy walks in a single pool of light, the stage is set with an electric guitar, an acoustic guitar, violin, piano and a small amp.
What follows has been enthralling audiences around the world for decades.
It promises to be a truly special night.
As well as some of her classics it will feature some of the new songs from McEvoy’s 16th album Gimme Some Wine, which has just been launched to rave reviews.
She will be supported by Chloe Matharu, an award-winning Scottish singer songwriter and harpist.
She also brings electronic soundscapes to the stage, as heard in her single The Silkie of Sule Skerry, with a three-piece band.
She has won numerous awards for her performances and appearances and was shortlisted for the Scots Singer of the Year Award 2023.
Many of her songs draw on her time in the Merchant Navy, inspired by the natural world as experienced at sea.
The belated St Patrick’s Day celebration concert will be held at 7pm on Saturday, March 23, at Everglades Club, Dunban Rd, Woy Woy.
