The album Rolling on the Inside is a nod to her late father Roger O'Sullivan, who passed away in April, 2025.

The single Bog Cotton was released on January 9.

Mr O'Sullivan was in his own right a renowned singer and fiddle player and he leaves a void in the musical scene.

Describing the single, Noelle says: “The song highlights the sincerity and depth of emotion while depicting a deep connection with my father and a vivid, almost mystical comparison with the landscape and human nature.

“The last section includes a short jovial conversation between myself and my late father as the alluring sound of Lily Munday's fiddle fades into the distance.”

This is the second single from the alternative folk artist and it was produced by Brian Casey in Wavefield recording studio in Cork.

There are 11 tracks on the album, featuring Brian Casey on electric guitar, bass and keyboard, with Anthony Noonan on drums and percussion and Lily Munday on fiddle.

Previously, Noelle has had a song featured in the UK television hit soap Hollyoaks, she performed at Dominic West's wedding and has shared a stage with Mick Flannery and John Sheahan of The Dubliners.

Noelle will perform in Mike the Pies in Listowel with a full band on January 22.
