Temple Bar TradFest: Women of Note

Aoife Scott is an Award Winning folk singer and songwriter based in Dublin, Ireland. Born into the legendary Black Family, Aoife has steadily ascended to the top of the traditional and folk music scene and has long enjoyed success as an established artist in her own right. With a voice that is fragile and ethereal one moment and strong and vibrant the next, her dynamic and profound vocals explore the emotional depths of her lyrics, leaving audiences entranced. Aoife has a unique sound. Her music has a broad creative scope but is largely influenced by her own roots in folk and traditional Irish music. Her celebrated debut album, Carry The Day was launched at Tradfest in 2016 to rapturous applause, as was her second, HomeBird, which debuted at the Button Factory as part of TradFest 2020. For Aoife, this is a sort of homecoming.
