We’ll be chatting with Brigid about the support she received this Friday 13th June at our Get to know us event at 2 Royal Avenue. This event is free to attend! We’ll see you there from 12pm 💛💛

Over the last 10 years I have been privileged to receive multiple awards from music industry organisations such as Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Help Musicians UK Help Musicians Northern Ireland, PRS Foundation & British Council Northern Ireland & Music Minds Matter.
I actually believe this support was a game-changer in my music career, helping me to do many things - get to Nashville, meet co-writers, record, promote and tour my albums and create space for new work. Both the Transmission Fund and Live and Touring Awards that I was lucky enough to win, amid UK wide competition, truly helped me immeasurably, particularly with my recent Irish and UK tours. I am so very grateful to Help Musicians and all of the organisations mentioned.
So it's lovely to have been invited by HMNI this Friday 13 th June, to discuss and chat a bit about how the awards helped me practically in my career - and sing a few songs too! I hope others will be encouraged to apply and reap the benefits of the great support that is open for all to avail of!
