As you may know, the ICC’s February 2023 music programme kicked off with the special “Saint Brigid Day” celebrations, when we hosted three nights of concerts featuring the mighty and magnificent Irish trad musician Sharon Shannon. As this year is the first year St Brigid will be officially acknowledged in Ireland with a National Holiday, we thought that throughout February we would continue a theme in her honour and so today we bring you this beautiful song, which has been written about Brigid by Victoria Keating and Aine O’Gorman.
Victoria and Aine have been playing together for 13 years and they have both released music together as solo artists.
Victoria has toured and recorded extensively with Christy Moore and Declan Sinnott; she has carved out a name for herself as a solo artist and four of her songs have been playlisted on the RTE Radio One best ‘Recommends List’.
Aine has released five singles which all received huge applause and reaction in Ireland and around the globe. Her last song ‘These Empty Rooms’ made the top five on last year’s ‘Best Tracks’ on 3 different radio shows in Ireland.
In response to Victoria’s and Aine’s last musical collaboration the song ‘The Poor Ground’ about Ireland’s Magdalen Laundries, CHRISTY MOORE said that it was “beautiful… terrible… the beauty holds me there as the horror unfolds….a tour de force"!
In honour of St Brigid and to pay tribute to all of the women of Ireland, women born and bred and of Irish heritage living around the globe, the ICC is delighted to bring you Victoria and Aine’s latest single, “Brigid Part 1: Becoming”. which was released on St Brigid’s Day Feb 1st 2023! So here it is… Enjoy!
