Siobhan Doyle
Siobhán Doyle sings Percy French

Soprano, Siobhán Doyle, is a familiar face at the National Concert Hall. She has won numerous awards for her singing, including the Gold Medal for Soprano Solo, The Operatic Cup, Thomas Moore Cup, The Fitzgerald Trophy for Operatic Singing (three successive years) and the title Singer of the Year. She studied under Sr Mary Agnes Cecilia, St Mary’s College, Arklow, and later with Dr Veronica Dunne at the College of Music.

An accomplished singer and actress, she has appeared in over 40 musicals and operettas, among them Anna in The Merry Widow, Margot in The Desert Song, Saffi in The Gipsy Baron, Rosalinda in Der Fledermaus, Nancy in Oliver, and Julie in Showboat. She has played principal boy in pantomime at the Olympia Theatre and The Gaiety Theatre.

Siobhán has performed in The Percy French Story throughout the country and tonight will celebrate Percy French’s life and work through his songs.

William Percy French is one of Ireland’s best loved songwriters and his list of famous songs includes ‘The Mountains of Mourne’ and ‘Phil the Fluter’s Ball’.


 Rory O’Sullivan lives in Wicklow Town. He is a young, up-and-coming poet whose influences are two of the greats: Yeats and Kavanagh. ‘There is a stillness 
 in music and words that captures me. Music and words come hand in hand, let them help you, let them heal you, for that is their purpose, and that's why I write,’ says Rory.

Winner of the Xmas Factor ’09 Writing competition held in Wicklow Library, Rory is also a keen songwriter and musician and plays in the band, ‘Rebel Diamond’.
