A local singer-songwriter is excited for an upcoming show where she'll feature the music of epic female performers down through the years.

.

The songs and stories as well as the impact they have made as artists - including Peggy Lee, Billie Eilish, Whitney Heuston, Lady Gaga, and Killarney's very own Jessie Buckley - will be part of 'Women of Note' in the Gleneagle INEC Club on Sunday, May 31.

The show will include interesting facts about these women, as well as direct quotes of things they have said. Their images will appear on a projector screen on stage, thus making this show a true feast for the senses.

Grace Foley is organising the event alongside local musicians Noel O'Sullivan and Padraig Creedon with narrator Laura Reidy.

"This show is something I would like to tour and this first performance at the INEC will allow me to bring this concept to life in front of a live audience at an amazing local venue," Grace explained.

"In today's world, the role of women is constantly changing and, I would hope, is being more understood and appreciated. The women whose music we will feature in this performance are not/were not only musicians. They are/were people with hopes and dreams and hardships."

She said that she'd like the audience to leave the show feeling like they really know and understand these incredible women.

"I am very proud to be a woman and I am personally blown away by the incredible females who have had a huge impact on the music industry. I want to give our audience a show where they can enjoy great live music and also learn about these female trail blazers."

The show is funded by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media’s Local Live Performance Programming Scheme with support from Kerry County Council.
