Robyn Kavanagh is 23 years old and lives in Wicklow Town. She is probably best known for her appearance on the popular RTE talent show, You’re a Star, when she was runner up. That was three years ago and since then she has been taking a break from the music. That was until recently, when she acquired a manager.
Robyn is currently working on her own music and learning to play guitar. ‘I have been writing my own songs for the last 3 years,’ she says, ‘and my aim is to get signed to a label and hopefully make the charts.’
Robyn’s sound is new age soul with mild rock influences and a hint of rhythm and blues. Her backing band for the night is the three Meakin brothers - Sounds interesting and not to be missed!
In March they launched their newest song “ The man who reached the sky” a song about Charles Barrington from Bray who was the first person to climb the Eiger. During St. Patricks weekend, the band also launched another song in France called “ A french connection” which will be used as the anthem for the twinning of Wicklow and Montigny. Always a toe-tapping evening when Avoca take the stage at the Space Inside.
