Áine Tyrell is an Irish singer, songwriter and musician who grew up in counties Galway and Clare. She’s been living in Australia for over a decade now where she has toured extensively and developed a reputation as a fiercely grassroots and independent artist who is a powerhouse live performer and I highly recommend going to see if you get a chance. 

Áine’s music connects with so many aspects of our humanity, heartache, loss and suffering, and also resilience, hope, recovery, survival, and overcoming. Aine also courageously shares about her experiences as a single mother, dealing with abuse and gender-based violence and she’s an advocate on these and so many issues including Indigenous rights and solidarity with the people of Palestine. She’s also an important voice for women in music and the challenges of existing and thriving as an independent artist in today’s world. 

We talk about these issues and more in this conversation which is part of my Creative Souls of Clare podcast series, supported by Creative Ireland Clare.
