Eve said: "It was a real honour to put my spin on such an iconic Irish pop song and it was even more special with the Limerick connection of the Cranberries. I’ve been performing this song for years at weddings and concerts, it’s the kind of magical feel good song that never stops giving and is so popular."

She studied with acclaimed vocal coach, Olive Cowpar for a number of years. Whilst she has a background in classical music she enjoys singing a variety of genres and is a sought after wedding singer having performed at weddings in Munster for 14 years.

Eve’s debut album ‘Songbird’ is available now on CD from the artists website and band camp and promises a rich blend of Irish music across the ages, infused with classical influences and her unique signature soprano style. ‘Dreams’ will be available on Spotify, Apple Music and iTunes on Sunday, January 5 from 9am.
