The local songstress is well known to Limerick audiences having performed regularly in solo recital at St. Mary’s Cathedral, Mary Immaculate College, the Hunt Museum and has appeared in several productions with Opera Workshop and concerts with the Limerick Opera Festival. She is a multi award winning vocalist having won all major awards at Féile Luimnigh and Feis Maitiú, Corcaigh.

Stafford’s Songbird album follows her recent concert series of the same name, and she will return to Limerick next month for a special event at Fitzgerald’s Woodlands House Hotel in Adare on September 22, where she will present a wedding music-focused concert. Tickets and details are available at www.evestafford.ie.

Speaking about the event, Eve Stafford said, “We will have a delightful afternoon-tea served, followed by a special version of my Songbird concert.  Songbird is a 90-minute classical crossover concert featuring Irish music throughout the ages followed by wedding and classical music favourites and there might even be something from Bridgerton and a few movie and musical hits.”
