“One of the worlds finest voices”- The Guardian, Australia
Neasa has for years been mesmerizing audiences worldwide with her incredible voice and equally impressive stage persona. She performs as a Wedding singer, and at Corporate events, private functions, and also at public gigs, festivals and concerts. With performance experience spanning over 20 years of TV, recording contracts, radio, concerts, weddings, corporate events, and extensive touring, both in Ireland and abroad, she has performed venues from the largest of Australia’s stadiums, the 100,000 seater MCG - Melbourne Cricket Grounds, to celebrations held in the privacy of your home. Neasa has twice represented Ireland performing the National anthem for the Irish team in Australia.
Songs are delivered with passion, sometimes woven with the haunting sound of her panpipes. Her special talents lie in her vast vocal range and her communicative energy, which is repeatedly a subject of positive comment and review. She reaches out and invites her audience into a highly emotionally charged journey, thereby establishing her as one of Ireland’s foremost singers and performers. She knows how to create that extra special ingredient essential in making your special occasion one that stands out, living long in your memory and that of your guests.
“Neasa is such a singer that one feels she can adapt her rich mature voice to any material she chooses. A great part of her charm is the very expressive manner in which she performs the material” - Irish Examiner
MUSIC STYLES:
Journey into a world of classic romance with her ‘Hits of the Musicals, Movies and Operas’, a show which she developed while working with members of the Adelaide Symphony orchestra, and again on her return home to Cork city, with a show of the same theme, which ran to high acclaim for a succession of seasons. Her Swingin’ Easy Jazz performance, finely tuned during her many appearances throughout Ireland, fronting the popular Dukes of Jazz, and the 8-piece Cadillac Jazz band, is next to none. Neasa’s celtic set, toured extensively in Australia with her band ‘Lir’, offers an authentic rendition of songs in English, and in Irish, the language through which she was reared.
BAND MEMBERS:
Neasa performs solo, or will add musicians suited to your budget and occasion. For events that call for that something extra, extra special, you can’t get better than Neasa and her Orchestra performing the Hits of the Musicals, Movies, and Operas
