Renowned for her distinctive voice, fearless songwriting and spellbinding stage presence, O’Neill has become one of the most vital and respected figures in contemporary folk music. Her songs weave together history, politics, compassion and myth, delivered with a rare emotional honesty that has earned her widespread critical acclaim.
The show follows an extraordinary period for O’Neill, whose recent releases have cemented her reputation as a singular artistic voice. Her work has been critically acclaimed across the globe, by the like of BBC 6 Music, The Guardian, Mojo, Uncut, NPR, The Irish Times and The New York Times. Her album All Of This Is Chance was widely ranked among the best releases of that year, with BBC 6 Music’s Gideon Coe naming it Album of the Year.
In late 2025 O’Neill digitally released ‘The Wind Doesn’t Blow This Far Right’ EP. The EP comprises six tracks that Lisa considers to fit together well, they include the haunting rendition of Bob Dylan’s ‘All The Tired Horses’ that was recorded to soundtrack the closing scene of the final episode of Peaky Blinders, plus ‘Homeless In The Thousands (Dublin in the Digital Age)’ featuring Peter Doherty, which was released as a stand-alone single in 2025 in response to the growing issue of homelessness in Dublin and across Ireland. Added to these are a new song and recent live favourite ‘Mother Jones’ about the activist and union organiser Mary G. Harris Jones, who in 1902 was called ‘the most dangerous woman in America’ – following her organising of miners against mine owners leading directly to the introduction of America’s first child labor laws. The EP is completed with a stunning version of the seasonally topical ‘The Bleak Midwinter’ and a moving reading of the James Stevens poem ‘Autumn 1915’.
A compelling live performer and natural raconteur, O’Neill’s concerts are known for their intimacy and intensity, moving effortlessly between stark, socially engaged songs and moments of warmth, humour and reflection. Audiences can expect material spanning her celebrated catalogue, alongside newer work that continues her tradition of giving voice to the unheard and overlooked.
Lisa O’Neill has also recently toured extensively across Ireland, the UK and North America, including high-profile performances celebrating the legacy of The Pogues and Shane MacGowan.
“We’re incredibly grateful to Lisa O’Neill for this very special International Women’s Day concert, raising vital support for women experiencing domestic violence. The funds raised will allow us to reach more women and families through our refuges, outreach, 24-hour helpline, and children’s services. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Lisa and her fans for standing with domestic violence survivors this International Women’s Day.” – Zita Spring, SAOIRSE Fundraising & Supporter Care Manager
