About Me

Singer-songwriter and IRMA Award nominee Fiona Kennedy is a truly versatile artist. Fionas latest single Thats Not Love has been receiving extensive airplay all over Ireland since its release on 31st Oct. The success of her last album ‘Find Me’ along with a sell-out nationwide album tour places her firmly back where she belongs, in the top drawer of Irish female artists. Find Me was made Album of the Week on RTE Lyric Fm and a single release ‘All Together Now’, featured on the RTE Radio 1 Recommends List , reaching no.4 on the Irish & U.K. airplay chart. Two further tracks from the album reached no. 1 on the ITunes chart.

 Fiona is now set to release a new album of original songs from her acclaimed show Natural Woman, a powerful celebration of the extraordinary women who have inspired her throughout her life and career since the 1980s. A winner of Ireland’s first-ever televised talent competition Screen Test and a former support act for Kris Kristofferson at Siamsa Cois Laoi in Páirc Uí Chaoimh, Fiona brings decades of experience, authenticity and artistry to this deeply personal project. Natural Woman blends original music with spoken word, storytelling and projected imagery, creating a rich, theatrical experience that explores resilience, creativity and the lived experiences of women.  Fiona’s new work offers a timely and compelling reflection on women’s voices, influence and legacy.

The latest single, ‘Thats Not Love’ is a song from the Natural Woman show and is receiving exceptional airplay.  Available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music & Bandcamp.
