A WELL-KNOWN Tralee woman is part of new collective releasing a single next week, followed by their first ever gig taking place in Kerry this month.
Caitríona O’Sullivan, who will be familiar to many from her role as a judge on TG4’s Glór Tíre, is part of Women Of Éire, a collective bringing distinctive voices and soaring harmonies to Ireland’s traditional songs, reimagined with a contemporary edge alongside original music.
The new single, Kerry Boy, written by Caitríona O’Sullivan and Andy Reynolds, produced by Grammy-nominated Billy Farrell and featuring Tara Howley on whistle and fiddle is described as “an ode to the quintessential Kerry man”.

It’s released next Wednesday and just ten days later, on October 17th, eight members of Women of Éire take to the stage at Tinteán Theatre, Ballybunion, for the collective’s debut concert.
Internationally acclaimed artists Sina Theil, Caitríona O’Sullivan, The O’Neill Sisters from Causeway, Chantelle Padden and Elle Marie O’Dwyer join celebrated Irish dancer Róisín Lyons — who toured worldwide with Riverdance and Lord of the Dance — for a night of powerful voices, rich harmonies, Irish dance and a bold new take on Irish music.
Kerry Boy is available October 7th on all major download and streaming platforms.
