I’d like to thank the lovely people in @Twitter for all their help this morning & the many people who contacted them on my behalf & supported as they helped get back my & the @whynothereu account from the hackers & restored it after a few hours. I’m exhausted. Taking a break👾

(1/6) I haven’t spoken about this up until now because at the time it took a long period to process but last Nov, my laptop was hacked & my online platforms. The book I was writing about Gender Inequality in the music industry was destroyed. Nothing else was touched. #IWD2022

I’m so proud of this woman and to call her a friend aswell as a client. Superb interview darling @eleanormcevoy ! 'I was paid in perfume but the guys got cash' - Eleanor McEvoy- via @Independent_ie @RealBarryEgan

'I was paid in perfume but the guys got cash' - singer Eleanor McEvoy sounds off

We at @whynotherire want to know why incredible Irish female artists who receive peak airtime allocation on some of the biggest shows in Radio in the U.K. are denied the same platforms and support as their male peers in Ireland. It makes no sense.

@roisiningle Apparently Ireland in general is 83% more expensive. I’m living in Lisbon. Monthly rent for room with office is €380 a month (all bills included). To eat out on average is under €10 including wine. A cab most places anywhere in the city is between €2-5 - outer city max €10

What a day! I've literally spent today chatting to some of my idols. Life long dreams came through today. Such exciting times to come for women in Ireland who are creating music. After more than a decade of being rejected & told no, I genuinely feel the tides are turning 🌊🌊🌊
