About Me

Singer-songwriter and IRMA Award nominee Fiona Kennedy is a truly versatile artist. 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.

In 2024, Fiona created a highly acclaimed stage show called ‘Natural Woman’, songs that were inspired by ordinary women doing extraordinary things accompanied by readings, stories & projections. This creative & uplifting show received excellent reviews & sold out The Cork Arts Theatre for 2 nights running.. a nationwide tour is currently being planned.
