Artist Spotlight

Muireann Bradley

At just 17 years old, Muireann is capturing the hearts and imaginations of audiences in Ireland and the UK with her mesmerising fingerpicking guitar and soulful vocals. 

Muireann’s authentic performances have garnered widespread acclaim, including a standing ovation on the Jools Holland Hootenanny Show on New Year’s Eve. Following this triumph, Muireann recently took the stage and was interviewed on RTE’s Late Late Show. Her stunning performance of “When the Levee Breaks” captivated viewers, and she joined Patrick Kielty, Paul Mescal, and Andrew Scott for a chat about her Jools Holland experience and meeting stars like Rod Stewart, all with her proud Dad watching. 

Muireann grew up surrounded by guitars and the soulful tunes of old blues in the hills overlooking the Finn Valley in County Donegal. Her musical journey began at the age of nine when she convinced her father to buy her first guitar and teach her. This father-daughter bond laid the foundation for Muireann’s deep connection with the blues, a passion that has taken her to remarkable heights. Drawing inspiration from the music of the 1920s and 30s, her highly anticipated album, “I Kept These Old Blues,” was released in December 2023.
