Moy River B& B in Cloonacool is synonymous with great live music concerts, and the latest one arrives this March.

Siobhan O’Donnell comes from a great family tradition of music and song but is now making her own way with her own distinctiv­e sound.

Combining folk, country and traditiona­l genres, Siobhan has come up with an entertaini­ng yet reflective style.

Her debut album, Beautiful Affair, launched in 2016, provides great examples of her musical talent and unique style.

Siobhan played music from the age of nine, learning tunes on the whistle and fiddle.

She was greatly influenced by the South Sligo style of traditiona­l music and song and has had lots of success, winning All- Ireland titles in Singing, Lilting and was crowned Senior All- Ireland Bodhran Champion in 2005.

Siobhan joined the group The Border Collies, with her Father Colm and had great success in performing at music festivals across Ireland and Europe. As well as being a seasoned performer, Siobhan has taught workshops at music schools and festivals across the world, such as South Sligo Summer School ( Tubbercurr­y), Joe Mooney Summer School ( Drumshanbo), Craiceann ( Bodhran School, Aran Islands), Ceol Aneas ( New Zealand), National Folk Festival ( Australia) to name but a few.

Siobhan will perform at a House Concert at Moy River B& B in Cloonacool on Friday 10th March at 8pm.
