Eimear’s our Rising Star

Eimear Crehan - a.k.a. Fox.E

In case you didn’t know Kilcock is home to the very talented singer song writer Eimear Crehan. Under the pseudonym Fox.E she will be performing with artists from across the globe in the Rising Stars competition. Winners will headline at the Dublin City of Soul Festival and will also receive studio time and rehearsal space for 12 months. From the May 27th – Sunday May 30th 2010  Dublin City Soul Festival are bringing the very best of their Rising Stars to the bars, clubs, cafes, public spaces and streets of Dublin City – and judging by the intial response of Eimear’s fans on her Rising Star’s web page she will be a popular performer during the festivities.

I often do small gigs for family and friends and regularly do spots in the college and around my area. I really enjoy this and I know that now I need to take it further. I am playing at a number of festivals this year and I am really hoping to get my music out there and really show people what I can do. Tour with Jack L has shown me that I am really ready to branch out on my own and put all my experience to good use!
