Eleanor McEvoy is one of Ireland’s foremost songwriters. She is the composer and co-performer of "A Woman's Heart" the title track for the best-selling Irish album in Irish history, and in May 2019 it was voted by the Irish public as one of Ireland’s Top Ten Favourite Folk Songs.

Eleanor began her career as a session musician in Dublin, playing for numerous recordings and artists including U2, Sinead O’Connor and Mary Black. She was also a violinist with the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland for five years, but her real passion was songwriting.

Her critically acclaimed canon of work spans sixteen albums and has had numerous cover versions of her songs by performers such as Emmylou Harris, Mary Coughlan, Eliza Carthy and more.

Her song “Sophie” deals with the subject of anorexia; it is used internationally in treatment centres and was described by David Smith in The Guardian as “an anthem that is touching, inspiring and consoling thousands of anorexic girls around the world”

When home from her travels, as well as being the chair of the board of IMRO (Irish Music Rights Organisation), Eleanor is also a voting member of the Recording Academy of America (the GRAMMYs).

2027 will mark her 20th year touring Australia.
