About Me

Singer/Songwriter Grainne O Neill has been singing since she could open her mouth. Starting with Irish Traditional and Classical she always had a very keen interest in alternative music and began writing at 15. At 18 she moved to Liverpool and studied Drama which gave her the confidence to perform more, and it was there she seen an advertisement for The E4 school of Performing Arts , which she entered and won. This brought her to london were now she is enrolled at ACM (Academy of Contemporary Music) where she has really developed as an artist and found an amazing group of musicans to form a band."Schooled in classical and traditional forms, O’Neill’s stylish alt-folk betrays her musical pedigree. A relative unknown in her native land, she’s been causing something of a stir across the water, winning the E4 School Of Performing Arts show. However, it’s only a matter of time before the good word gets out on this most talented of performers."Francis Jones, Hotpress Magazine.
