@firerecordings
. Thank you for all your kind words and wishes . All I’ll say is I love singing for people, it’s my favourite thing to do. Album can be listened to / bought from 👁️🗿
I’ve had a Ukrainian artist and her daughter staying with me the last few weeks. Today as they get ready to leave for permanent accommodation she handed me this watercolour painting she made of me.. I will miss them ❤️
Just went food shopping and saw my old teacher who said to me that I had ‘emotional problems and would never be successful at anything.’
Well Mrs. H, we are BOTH in Lidl on a Thursday afternoon haha
Really excited to announce that I’ve signed to
@firerecordings
and I’m working on an album release with them for 2020 👀 👀 ✨ 👽 🌚 photo by the great

This anti- immigrant stuff in Ireland right now is so upsetting..
I had my son when I was young ..single parenting in Ireland in 2011 there was still so much judgement. It was always immigrant parents who respected me, included me, talked to me at the school gates, helped me out

Every year I get a little less humble about my birthday, SORRY.. I’m 34 today.. every trip around the sun gets easier .. life used to seem unbearably hard but now I’m liking being on this planet because of all the amazing people out there that I’ve met and am yet to meet 🦁☀️🦁
Ladieeees & gentlefolk, I'm so excited to announce my new album coming out on JUNE 5th with
@firerecordings
here's my new single 'On A City Night' available to listen to on band camp/ Spotify etc.. here's the link to listen or pre-order the album & TOUR!!
Just in London getting the last of our stuff moved back to Ireland .. lasted 10months in London and it was an excellent 10months but am happy to move home and plant myself by the sea 🌊
Sting was once at this event that we were at and my mum was too shy to ask him for a photo, so I said I would but only if she got me some Adidas shoes I’d been wanting .. I got them 👟
Getting a few nice messages from people concerning me not being nominated for Choice Prize.. thank you but be reassured I’m fine! I’ve never won any prizes/award/grant in my life & i don’t really expect to ha.. it means so much more to me that so many people reach out to me 1/2
Peter Broderick releases a SURPRISE album today of Arthur Russell’s covers and its a free download! Here’s a track that I sing on with him! The whole album is so so good. Info on where to get physical copies is on SoundCloud.. (it’s on Spotify too)

Thank you to the stranger who was sitting next to me and my son in the Japanese restaurant in Dublin. When I went to pay for our meal the stranger had bought our meal for us as a surprise and left! ❤️ The waitress said he was a ‘secret Santa’
Lot of music scene gaslighting going on at the mo.. lads it doesn’t matter what you got offered, it doesn’t take away the facts of what the other person was offered.
Wow this album came out 3 years ago! That means I was up in the north recording in Analogue Catalogue with the wonderful Julie McLarnon 4 years ago, directly after touring with
@ryleywalker
.. good times recording and good times touring (I never laughed so much than on that tour)
💫Looking for any suggestions! It’s too expensive to ship them to IE at the moment, but it seems a huge waste to dump them especially as I don’t actually have copies of them over here + always get asked at gigs for copies of them. They’re in San Francisco currently- thank u 💫
I ❤️ Dr John so much.. the colours of his piano playing sparked something in my teenage head. he also led me on to other greats like James Booker & Professor Longhair. I once met him at a festival, I saw him from a distance & he walked up to me & said ‘cool cosmic field sister’
I’d like to organise a scattered tour over the summer around Ireland. A parent-friendly tour where I can gig once a week over the summer. It’s hard for me as a mum to get away for long stretches…please get in touch if you’d like me to come & play or any venue suggestions! ☀️
It’s nearly a week since Head Above The Water has been out.. thank you so much for all your kind words.. it’s been great to hear from different people all over.. it can still be found here if you missed it last week

hi
@Google
when people google me from UK IRL & US, but not Germany& Poland, it comes up as 'Peter Broderick's wife' I'm a professional musician& artist, could you change it for that to come up? It's embarrassing when people google me for a bio and that's all it says. thanks
🍷 after a hiatus, my first two albums are back online now, and available to download off my bandcamp.. vinyl to follow in the not so distant future I hope 🍷
Maybe 50-100 small-large independent record labels could make a pact to not put their artists on Spotify and make a new fair app that paid the artist AND label fairly.. the people would definitely follow and use it in my opinion
I’ll be bowing out of Twitter for a bit. Merry Xmas 2 ye..thanks for making a bad year still feel good.Thanks for buying /listening to the music/tuning into the live shows/buying art/ T-shirts..thank you to my patrons..Thanks to
@firerecordings
for being the best ❤️🎄
Don’t know if there’s much point posting here any more as I am never on so the algorithm doesn’t like that and doesn’t circulate my posts BUT I’m playing Cork tonight
@plugdrecords
incase one or two people see this
I love John Prine so much, I grew up listening to him in my home, my mums car and went to open air concerts with my family to see him play.. I wish him all the best in healing from Covid.. here's my tribute to him

'Burning Your Light' is available for pre order with
@firerecordings
and out Sept 24th.. 🕯️
I swear this always happens.. whenever I’m having my monthly tantrum about being a broke musician, a stranger gets in touch with something so sweet it turns my mood around and makes it feel all worthwhile.. thank you stranger 🙏
‘Head Above The Water’ is now out in the world. Here is the painting I did that was originally going to be the cover. It ended up on the back of the LP .. link here- thanks all so much for your support and kind words🌊🌊
@firerecordings
🐹 Wow my album has been out a month now already. In ways it’s zoomed by but it also feels like three years ago.. you can still get it here and listen in whatever way’s your favourite way to listen 🐹

So proud of my country for repealing the 8th.. what a healing time for Ireland ..patriarchy is falling down.. it just doesn’t work any more..the manipulation and guilt doesn’t work any more either.. exciting times
#repealedthe8th
The only way I can let go of the fact I made a weird sound to 100k+ people watching on a live stream show is to see the funny side.. in my sons words ‘you made a sound like when the cat has a hairball’ 😂
Tonight playing in limerick, 2 guys were mocking me while I was singing being all like 'oohhhh oohhh' pretending to be me I guess and then one of them spilled his pint over himself.. karma

Reading all the ☘️ metoo things at the moment about the music/comedy scenes. I don’t really know what 2 say..Galway was riddled with abusive behaviour when I was a teen& in my early 20s starting off playing gigs. Even the ‘experimental folk’ scene had it’s fair share of creeps
✨RIP David Crosby.. I listened to Deja Vu, particularly ‘Almost Cut My Hair’ repeatedly as a teen. In the rainy west of Ireland where all my peers were taking pills & raving, I was the outsider listening to CSNY wishing it was the 70s ☀️ thank you 🕊️
One day I’ll tell you which songs were written in soft play centres..
Instant coffee in one hand, pen in the other.
One eye on the page, one eye on the brewing toddler fight
My album 'The Two Worlds' is out today worldwide! For US ppl you can buy it at for UK+EU or of course in record shops near you and here it is on spotify
This is for the history buffs out there.. my dad acquired this seriously old painting randomly from an old Irish ‘big house’ he has it in his storage now and we are wondering if anyone knows who it is? He looks familiar to me
👰👶🌊'Wedding Of A Friend' is out today from my new album 'Head Above The Water' to be released 5th June on

last month on my hero Sinéad O’Connor, which is now out today. You can read at the link below . Thanks to Brian for asking me to write 🌹💔

1/2 I have experienced so much sexism in the music industry, things I thought that were normal until I saw how my other half (also a musician) was treated .. it’s crazy to me that you can say you’ve never seen sexism so then that means it doesn’t exist?
Very excited to announce that I am going to be opening up for the legendary

@FlissKitson
for booking them.. I have a 2nd single out in a few weeks 🔆
I was always blacklisted when I spoke out about people.. it’s amazing to see people all fearlessly sharing their stories now.. go easy on yourselves though, it’s exhausting work ❤️
This weeks story of
#SarahEverard
has been so upsetting for women. I have been reminded of my experiences of violence from men as have so many of my female friends. I've been sitting with a sadness and a dull panic all week as have my friends. I don't know what else to say 💔
A few weeks ago

pretended to pose for a photo outside Argos in Galway because he thought this poor stranger was my face twin.. now we are bored and trying to prove how I looked like him.. (sorry to whoever this is)
Here’s one for the Irish history heads! Here’s a tomb in Ballinahaglish, Co.Mayo.. how old would you say this is? All I can find about it is some stories on
