Lunchtime Concert – Sive

Sive is a songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist who was recently dubbed ‘one of the most inspiring and exciting artists of our time’ by Female First UK. Combining haunting, multi-layered vocals with delicately weaved musicality and an undeniable charm, Sive has carved a truly compelling style of alt-folk that is not afraid to differentiate from the norm. She has toured extensively in Ireland, the UK, Europe and New Zealand, sharing stages with the likes of Lisa Hannigan, Cathy Davey, Christy Moore, Kila and Mick Flannery, and winning a much-coveted slot on RTE’s Other Voices along the way. Having run a hugely successful crowdfunding campaign, Sive released her second studio album ‘The Roaring Girl’ to critical acclaim in 2017. She took the MA Community Music here at the Irish World Academy in 2014/15, and since then she has enjoyed a vibrant career as a music facilitator across a variety of community and healthcare settings. Sive is currently releasing her new music via Berlin-based label Veta Records.
