Former CPC pupil Megan in the BAG tonight

A reminder that a former pupil of Cross and Passion College will be playing the Ballymore Acoustic Gigs tonight, Monday 25 February, writes Brian Byrne.

Megan O'Neill from Ballymore has carved out an international career in Americana and Alt Country music through the last decade. Her latest album, ‘Ghost of You’, topped the iTunes singer/songwriter charts for Ireland and the UK after its release last June.

Megan has just released a new single, a brilliant cover of American country music group Big Little Town's 'Girl Crush'.

Her songwriting successes include ‘Don’t You’, which featured on hit ABC TV show Nashville. She has also performed at JJ Abrams’ Oscar Wilde party in Los Angeles alongside Gavin James and was selected to participate in the Americana Music Association song-writing workshop in 2017. Megan has also performed multiple times at the prestigious Bluebird CafĂ© in Nashville as well as being twice chosen as one of Time Out London’s Rising Stars (2016 and 2017).

She has also become a regular performer at key festivals in the UK, and has many live radio gigs on the BBC on her growing list of achievements.

Megan's appearance in Mick Murphy's is a very apt coming home gig, with doors opening from 7pm. She will be performing with Joe and Dave Dunwell, who were co-writers and backing vocals on several tracks on 'Ghost of You'.

'Girl Crush' is now on Spotify, iTunes, and Apple Music.
