Meath singer-songwriter Ellie O’Neill plays at Bello Bar in Dublin on Friday 10th April. Ellie has released three singles of folk singer-songwriter music with the latest being ‘Anna With the Silver Arrow’, out today on St. Itch.

Management is Giant Artist (Anna Calvi, Bat For Lashes, Actress, Mount Kimbie, Léa Sen, PC Music).
