Her recent album 11 Past the Hour was her fourth No.1 in Ireland. She recently presented SKY Arts literary travelogue series The Voices of Ireland. Her first major film, Fisherman Friends 2, is scheduled for release this year. Nigerian-Irish poet, performer, playwright FELISPEAKS has won many accolades since being nominated for Best Performer in the Dublin Fringe Festival, 2018. Her most recent is the Catalyst Award at Irish Tatler Woman of the Year 2021, where she performed her powerful poem For Our Mothers.

Sibéal’s uniquely stunning debut EP Live at Abbey Road unites contemporary and traditional music, sung sean-nós. She featured on Irish Women in Harmony’s Safe Ireland fund-raising single Dreams, and sings Stand for Hope in the animated feature Two By Two: Overboard, nominated for a Hollywood Music in Media Award. From her lo-fi R&B roots to poignant pop, Tolü Makay has fast become one of Ireland’s leading creative voices. Her version of The Saw Doctors classic N17 with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra made her Ireland’s highest-charting female solo artist.
