Irish Singer Hilary O'Neill
I saw a notice in our local German Newspaper for a concert this Sunday evening by an Irish Harpist and Singer named Hilary O'Neill.
The concert was held at the City Library in a courtyard inside the 4 walls of the library. Once the sun dropped below the building roofline it was a very pleasant setting. Flowers in the courtyard garden, light breeze, 70 degrees.
She played and sang without amplification and in the courtyard the effect was very pleasant. She sang in English and Gaelic. Mostly old standards like Carrickfergus, Peggy Jordan, Johnny I hardly knew you.
There were about 150 people there so a nice group but still intimate.
Don't know if anyone has heard of her. She had a good voice, but not the best for Irish songs. Just a little too operatic on the high notes for me.
Nice ending for the weekend though.
