ONE of the most ‘influential figures in the Irish music industry’ is set to make her debut at the Ardhowen Theatre in Enniskillen at what’s expected to be a sold-out show.
The much-loved Dublin singer Frances Black, who was a member of the iconic ‘Black Family’ band, has recently confirmed she’s stopping off in Enniskillen for a one-off concert.
After a distinguished career with the family band, the 63-year-old concentrated on her solo career, where she claimed multiple awards and toured in some of the biggest venues across the world.
“Frances [Black] began her musical journey at a young age, influenced by her family’s love for traditional Irish music,” said a spokesperson for the Ardhowen Theatre in Enniskillen.
“She honed her skills in local folk clubs and soon became a sought-after performer in the Irish music scene.
“Frances’s music often explores themes of love, loss, and personal growth, resonating deeply with listeners who connect with her honest and heartfelt lyrics.
“Her ability to convey raw emotions through her soulful voice has earned her numerous accolades and awards throughout her career,” they added.
Aside from her hugely successful music career, Ms Black has used her position to be vocal on a range of issues, including calling for more support for people living with addiction.
She was elected to the Seanad Éireann in 2016 as an Independent candidate and she’s continued to lobby on a number of different important matters.
“Frances [Black] continues to perform and record music, captivating audiences with her powerful vocals and genuine stage presence,” said the Ardhowen Theatre.
“She remains an influential figure in the Irish music industry, inspiring generations of musicians with her talent and unwavering commitment to spreading positivity and making a difference in the lives of others.
“Frances Black’s remarkable career and philanthropic endeavours have solidified her legacy as an exceptional artist and compassionate human being.
“Her music continues to touch the hearts of fans worldwide, reminding us of the power of music to heal and uplift the soul,” they added.
Frances Black will bring her ‘Talk to Me’ show to the Ardhowen Theatre in Enniskillen on Saturday, September 14.
