Caitriona O’Sullivan and Sina Theil will release ‘The Fields Of Athenry’ on Monday.

TRALEE singer/songwriter Caitriona O’Sullivan has teamed up with fellow artist Sina Theil to release their version of one of Ireland’s favourite ballads.

‘The Fields of Athenry’ will be available on iTunes and all streaming services from Sunday, March 12.

Caitríona is known to many as a resident judge on TG4’s hit country music show ‘Glór Tíre’ for the past 19 years. Sina Theil is a German born, Irish based singer-songwriter.

Neither one is a stranger to television and the pair were brought together by Daniel O’ Donnell to sing on his TG4 show ‘Opry le Daniel ar Thuras’ in July 2022.

It was there that Sina and Caitríona hit it off with a mutual admiration of each other’s musical talents during the show. They decided to collaborate with each other on a track to coincide with International Women’s Day 2023.

Offering a fresh female perspective with the first ever female duet version of ‘The Fields of Athenry’, Sina and Caitríona, a mother herself, were struck by the story of the mother in the song as well as the love story.

Sina and Caitríona were asked by the Irish Music Magazine to premiere their music video as part of the Nashville based transatlantic virtual festival Music City Irish Fest on St. Patrick’s Day on March 17th alongside acts such as Altan, Cara Dillon and Kildare artist Dan McCabe.

The festival will run for two days (March 17th and 18th) and can be viewed on the Irish Music Magazine Facebook page (@TRADIMM). Their video will also be released on YouTube internationally on Mother’s Day, Sunday 19th March.

Fresh from the success of her concert programme “Live at THT Galway” which was recently aired on TG4, Sina recorded ‘The Fields of Athenry’ with Caitríona in Athenry.

Both artists have had a string of number 1 singles in recent years on both the main Irish iTunes charts and the Irish country music charts.
