Aisling Quinn







Last week we had the unbelievable talents of Aisli
ng Quinn. Toting a beautiful acoustic and a mandolin, Quinn stepped into studio 3 and proceeded to wow us with her fascinating approach to music.

Hailing from Galway, but living in Dublin the past 6 years, Quinn's music is refreshing like a watermelon cooler on a breezy beach. She plays a host of instruments, including the aforementioned mandolin, along with flute, xylophone, and my personal favourite, the melodica.

I think of happy woodland animal on picnics when I listen to A Song I Wrote For You. Her voice conveys 60's singers and is feckin amazing live.

She extends the tradition of singer-songwriter in the sense that she is has a qualification in music production, which clearly shows in her range and vision for her intensely fun and well-thought out tunes.

In 2004 she released her first demo which was chosen as Jackie Hayden's "Pick of the Fortnight" in Hotpress. 2006 saw her returning to the studio to record her first EP " A Simple Arrangement" which was launched in the summer of 2007 .

She's playing in Bewley's Cafe Theatre with another Sessions favourite, walkperson, on July 23rd.

Go see this fabulous, engaging and charming musician. It'll be deadly, wha'.
