Lisa O'Neill to play two date West Cork residency for Samhain Festival

Irish songwriter Lisa O’Neill will bring her band to West Cork this November for a two date residency at DeBarras Folk Club in Clonakilty, as part of the Samhain Festival 2025.

A Cavan native, Ms O’Neill is a five time BBC Folk Award nominee, and her album ‘Heard a Long Gone Song’ was named The Guardian’s 2019 Folk Album of the Year.

She has had a run of sold out performances, including Symphony for the Moons with the National Symphony Orchestra at Dublin’s National Concert Hall, and at London’s Barbican with the Britten Sinfonia.

Ms O’Neill also has had two songs featured in the British drama series ‘Peaky Blinders’.

Clonakilty Samhain festival celebrates Irish culture, music, folklore and myth. DeBarras will announce further events as part of their programme over the coming months.
