NIAMH KAVANAGH

Singer / Performer  

Niamh Kavanagh has been singing for most of her life.  Of all her guises within the music industry, Niamh is best known for her Eurovision successes, representing her country twice and winning for Ireland in 1993.  She has recorded many albums and collaborations, in particular lending her vocals to one of the best selling soundtrack albums of all time, The Commitments.  

Recently Niamh has starred as the Fairy Godmother in RTÉ Junior’s official panto, taken part in special TV recordings ahead of Eurovision in the Netherlands, and continues to tour at home and abroad. TV audiences have followed her winning participation in nationwide obsession, Celebrity Masterchef, and as returning judge on Junior Eurovision on TG4, requiring a brush up on her cúpal focail Gaeilge. 

Previously, Niamh starred in the highly successful Irish tour of Menopause the Musical, as part of a four woman cast. She also starred as the Evil Queen in a multi-year run of the highly successful Tivoli Christmas Panto in Dublin. Niamh’s performance was described by reviewers as a ‘show-stealer’.

Niamh retains a life-long love of live performance - her vocal talent and legendary audience rapport means she is equally at home holding court in crowded arenas as she is in intimate music venues. She continues to tour and develop new shows including Date Night, a retrospective of her extensive career which was initially developed to mark the 25th anniversary of her Eurovision win. Featuring some of Niamh's favourite songs, and accompanied by guitarist Paul Megahey, an intimate evening full of gorgeous sounds interspersed with chat and craic awaits audiences of future shows.
