I wrote down some thoughts for The National Newspaper on the tragic untimely loss of a courageous, radical and fearless woman who always spoke and sought her truth.
“Sinéad O’Connor was the woman who paved the way for the next generation of singers and folksingers’ to speak out and advocate for causes, despite the likelihood of overwhelming public critique and consequences for their careers. We owe it to Sinéad to carry on her work.
Radical, fearless, articulate, political singers who stick their flag to the mast is exactly what we need more of and I’m glad to have wonderful women like Karine Polwart, Cara Dillon and Eddi Reader to look up to.”
