If I could name an artist that I genuinely like both as a musician and a person, Orla would have to be one. She has become increasingly successful in the last few years, my sister introduced me to her singing covers on Youtube, we went to see her perform as Lewis Watson's support act in Cyprus Avenue, Cork a few years ago and now we see her releasing EPs, playing popular festivals such as Indiependence. I'm definitely delighted for her.
Unfortunately I will not be attending Indiependence this year. I had been planning to go but a couple of things fell through. No matter though, as I decided to go on the hunt for bands that were playing there, to hear from them before they played the highly anticipated festival in Mitchelstown Co Cork.
