Comprised of a series of songs and spoken word tracks, which flow seamlessly from one into the other, Donegal-based singer/songwriter Kate O’Callaghan weaves the story of a young woman caught up in the 1916 Rising in Dublin on her latest conceptual release, ‘The Girl With The Beret’.
A fusion of alternative folk, popular ballad and classical strings, it gives a unique insight into the perspective of an ordinary girl living at that time and what it meant, as a female, to be involved in the Rebellion.’The Girl With The Beret’ features a host of musicians helping to bring O’Callaghan’s project to life.
You can pre-order the album on Bandcamp now at https://kateocallaghan.bandcamp.com/album/the-girl-with-the-beret, but it will be available on Bandcamp, iTunes & all major streaming sites from the release date.
