Tipperary singer/songwriter Eve Whelan prepares for launch of new single

21-year-old Clonmel-based singer/songwriter Eve Whelan releases her new single ‘Broken Mirrors’, which is taken from her forthcoming debut album, this Friday.

On the same night she will perform as part of the Hidden Gems at The Museum music series at Tipperary Museum of Hidden History in Mick Delahunty Square, Clonmel.

‘Broken Mirrors’ was written and recorded by Eve between home in Clonmel and in Cork, where she is a music student at University College, Cork.

She enlisted some of her music friends to play bass (Andrew Kennedy, Clonmel), drums (Andrew Whelan, UK) and fiddle (Iona Ritchie, Cork) on the track.

Eve studies music production as part of her degree and was heavily involved in the mixing stage of the track, with help from Andrew Whelan, who also mastered the single.

Eve is a former student of the Presentation Secondary School, Clonmel and she was also a member of Banna Chluain Meala for many years.

She was awarded the Donal (Doc) Gleeson award by the Music Department at UCC this year, based on her performance of her original songs.

She recently performed at Clonmel Junction Festival, Clonmel Originals Music Trail and at the local stage of When Next We Meet festival, which followed on from a really special performance in Mitchelstown Cave, when she was accompanied by Uproar Rock Chorus.

She also performed at the Other Voices of UCC event at University College, Cork tonight, Thursday.

Meanwhile, the Hidden Gems series at the Tipperary Museum of Hidden History will showcase Tipperary’s rich and talented musicians, live and unplugged, between September, October and November.

Ross Boland and The Cedartowns will perform on this Thursday, followed by Eve Whelan and Bare Bones on Friday night.

Doors are 7pm on both nights, with performances beginning at 7.30pm sharp.
