Brigid O'Neill - The Truth & Other Stories

The Truth & Other Stories

New Album out March 10th 2023
Digital / CD / Vinyl

 

The voice is pure and true, the vibe of deep felt love and collaboration is warm and the songs simply unforgettable. There are some gorgeous tales of hard won wisdom and battle worn beauty to be unfolded across these eleven tracks. Real life journeys told with real compassion and wrapped up in blankets of rich roots music born in both Ireland and Nashville.
— Ralph McLean, BBC Radio Ulster
 
 

"Brigid O’Neill delivered a showcase that was nothing short of mesmerising, firmly establishing herself as a formidable talent in the contemporary music scene.”

Northern Irish Brigid O’Neill is supremely confident both musically and lyrically. Her combination of a relaxed, kinda country/jazzy sound, combined with an eye for a tightly woven, disdaining lyric is a treat.
— Glastonbury Festival / FMS Mag
Brigid O’Neill has a voice like a clear cut diamond... the clarity and tone is beautiful. I have added her to my Spotify playlist and I suggest you add her to yours and be amongst the first to get tickets to see her perform live.
— The British Country Music Festival
O’Neill’s clear voice has a a lot of the qualities of her heroes, notably Alison Krauss. A lot of the feel of this song (Live a Little Lie Oh) harks back to Wrecking Ball era Emmylou, and the writing and production are worthy to stand alongside that album.
— TM - Fatea Magazine
An immensely grifted story teller who’s songs soar to new heights in a live environment.
— Hotpress
Brigid O’Neill possesses a beautifully pure-sounding voice and an ability craft a captivating song.
— Americana UK
A vibrant performer whose songs are melodically striking
— Maverick Magazine
Serving as a welcome reminder of her flair for storytelling and talent for spell binding melodies this song (Leaving) is very special indeed.
— Edwin McFee - Belfast Telegraph
Recent years have seen Brigid O’Neill come into herself finally gaining a deserved reputation as one of Irelands finest songwriters. Special... the pathos the hope the harmony...
— Folk and Tumble
I love it when people love what they do and do it well - and Brigid O’Neill is wonderful...
