You could hear a pin drop (unless Scotland scored\u2026 in that case you could hear that from the pub next door\u2026teehee). Her voice was incredible- moving through the tracks with clean, buttery vocals, whether she was lulling us or giving us a striking ballad.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"894\" height=\"894\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_2860-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31646\"  \/>Pictured- I Kept These Old Blues, debut album from Muireann Bradley (2023)<\/p>\n<p>We sat downstairs nice and cosy, as she shone on stage with nothing but her guitars. I truly was taken aback by the simplistic beauty of this gig, just a ridiculously talented young lass and her passions. She was in her own wee world, and I celebrate it highly! The sounds coming from her guitars were a credit to the sound engineer, deep and textured, helping amplify her masterful fingerpicking style in these expressive tunes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Muireann Bradley<\/strong> is an exceptional talent and role model for all young musicians, recording her first album at only 15. Both her determination and her commitment to her niche are very commendable; her originality glimmers! She closed her set with <strong>Bob Dylan<\/strong>\u2019s \u2018<strong>Don\u2019t Think Twice, It\u2019s Alright\u2019,<\/strong> which was met with an almost immediate standing ovation. I left the gig feeling both wowed and peaceful, this Donegal star is a talent I am delighted to have witnessed in the flesh.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a wee video from her socials; <\/p>\n<p>\n\tRelated\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\tPost Navigation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50 Rating: 5 out of 5.
