SINEAD O'BRIEN: VOCAL GIRLS PODCAST X THE GREAT ESCAPE

The VOCAL GIRLS podcast is the series where music journalist and VOCAL GIRLS Founder, Megan Graye, chats to artists about their past, present and future, and the music that intertwines these experiences. This series is a collaboration with The Great Escape Festival, so for this series Megan will be interviewing four key artists from their line-up. This week, Megan's speaking to musician, poet, designer and so much more, Sinead O’Brien.Sinead’s music has strong and clear intentions. Focussed on language, Sinead uses melody to add power to her words, making listening experiential. Combine that with the music of guitarist Julian Hanson and drummer Oscar Roberston and you have a distinctive and original sound that is instantly recognisable. Originally from Limerick, Sinead studied fashion design in Dublin before working as a full-time designer for Galliano in Paris and then Vivienne Westwood in London, until she felt a call to start creating in the music world. In this episode Megan and Sinead about the music that led her to becoming an artist, ‘responding to the room’ in a live setting and what we can expect from her highly anticipated debut album, Time Bend and Break The Bower.Sinead's song choices: Past: The Side of Man and Womankind - Tony Conrad With FaustPresent: The United Snakes of America - Faux RealFuture: Salt Coast - Kae Tempest@vocalgirlsclub@megangraye_Vocalgirls.com@greatescapefestgreatescapefestival.comThis podcast is produced, edited and presented by Megan Graye.
