Sorcha, is both an accomplished Uilleann Piper and Sean Nós singer. Widely considered as one of the most exciting Uilleann Piper of her generation, Sorcha has a visceral connection with the Uilleann pipes which is matched by an engrossing delivery of song in both English and Sean Nós. 

 

From the age of 10, Sorcha's  has attracted significant attention and acclaim nationally and internationally for performances broadcast on RTE and TG4. Videos of Sorcha’s Uilleann Piping have attracted millions of views on social channels.  By 2022 Sorcha had already amassed eight uilleann piping All Ireland medals.   As a Sean Nós singer Sorcha has won the U15 and U18 Feis Ceoil singing competitions and in 2022 she took first place at An tOireachtas, winning the Corn Sheosamh Uí Éanaigh agus Bonn óir.
