We spotted this young singer in a song session at Tradfest in Belfast, and were blown away by her honest and skilled interpretation of sean-nós songs. We're delighted to introduce her to Hartlepool audiences - we're certain you'll hear much more of her in future! We'll let her introduce herself:

​

'Hi my name is Éinín Duggan. I’m 16 years old and I'm from a small parish in Co.Derry called Lavey. I’ve been singing ever since I can remember. It is my passion. I love lots of different musical genres but my favourite is traditional Irish styles such as Ballads and Sean-nós. I’ve been successful at many Fleadh and Scór Na n-Óg competitions. I sang on stage with Emma Langford, I’ve supported Luka Bloom in concert and I’ve done many gigs myself. I am excited to see where my musical journey leads me.'
