Hello Hello

Okay, so I know I have been really bad with keeping up with my blogs each month (I know I said I'd blog per month) but I have honestly been so busy. Busy with my job, busy with my music and very busy with life in general. So I am going to give you all a quick rundown of what has been happening since the beginning of 2026.

January

In January, well it was a busy month - with the tour with Best of Ireland looming in the distance ... I wasn't ready and also my first release in 8 years was happening.

On January 16th I released Blue Eyes into the world and - my oh my - it was stressful for me... like bearing my soul on a platter for the world (aka. my very few engaged instagram followers). It was such a cathartic release of energy for me! It got some really good reviews and press coverage which was so cool.

Blue Eyes also got featured on BBC introducing NI on the Sound of 26 show, it was suuuch a shock... I couldn't believe it got played...tbh I uploaded it never thinking it would be chosen to played.

On January 17th, I played my first support slot upstairs in Whelans supporting the amazing Antanna. I was so nervous going in but the sound engineer was so nice and I was instantly put at ease. It was such an amazing experience and it reminded me how much I love to perform my music live. The week following I jumped back into the studio and started recording my song Sidney... I was feeling extra creative that week and I am so glad (I got the final mix back on Monday gone by and OMG OMG) The last week of January, I was right into Best of Ireland rehearsals and I was in show mode for the next 8 weeks. I took a quick trip over to NL for a 2 day rehearsal ahead of the 22 date tour over Feb & March.

February & March

February was really a jam packed music month! Starting off the month I went to see Alan Menken in the Bord Gais and it was so incredible to hear how all my favourite songs came to life and how they started humbly at the piano. I then packed all my bags and headed off to The Netherlands (my second home) on tour. This is the fourth year of the tour and defo defo defo my favourite by a mile!

Setlist - AMAZING

Venues - AMAZING

Team - AMAZING

Band - AMAZING (we're basically family)

Just to experience the venues, the audiences and the music is just incredible. We brought so much Irish music to so many people and it really makes me proud to come from Ireland. The tour spilled well into March and as the days became a little longer and a little brighter - we as a band grew into something so particularly special and I think audiences felt that too.

On the day after St Patricks Day we said our goodbyes and headed back to the homeland - Termonfeckin

April

Coming back was a little bit harder this year, it's difficult coming back to "real life" but it makes it a little easier knowing that I am getting to share more of my music over the next few months.

I've been busy writing and recording and slowly building my team around me for my future music. Today is Wandering's release day and to release this song is something special. I wrote this song when I felt like I was genuinely wandering aimlessly through the days, the weeks and the months and I am happy to say today that I'm no longer wandering. When recording this song, I first tracked the keys without any vocals - stepping into the vocal booth was the first time I sang the song without playing piano. It was only then that I heard the words of the song I've been singing for the past 6 years. I really was wandering around not knowing what I was about or where I wanted my life to go. Back then I was stuck in a job that made me unhappy and I wasn't surrounding myself with the best people - fake friends and fake relationships. Eventually, I let all of that go piece by piece but I don't regret any of it.. in fact I'm glad it happened (I got a great song out of it). If you're reading this (Kudos for getting this far) and you've said to yourself - oh I'm wandering aimlessly - you can stop.. right now. From actually living this (hey I've got the song to prove it) - if you live each day intentionally for yourself and others - this way of spiralised thinking will stop, you'll find that wandering feeling will pause, things will start making sense and you'll eventually know that everything happens for a particular reason ... sometimes it's nice to ride out the doldrums. ANYWAY - I hope you all like my new song - let me know what you think. Send me a message or leave a comment. I'll come back with another blog in a few weeks time (not putting a time limit on it - I gotta be in the right mood to actually get some words down on paper)

Much love,

Theresa
