On behalf of all here at Dolans we would like to congratulate Limerick’s Emma Langford for being shortlisted for an Irish Post Music Award for 2018.
Emma has been shortlisted in the Best Folk Act category. To give a sense of how much of an impact she is currently making on the Irish music scene you just need to look at the calibre of artists she has been nominated alongside – Christy Moore, Aoife Scott and Lancum.
Emma has woven a sound which Phil Coulter describes as “a breath of fresh air”.
A folk guitarist and singer-songwriter from Limerick, she is embued with the soul and style of Joni Mitchell, Eva Cassidy and Joan Baez; her distinctive vocal style demonstrates a blend of Irish lilt with folk and jazz. (Photo: Ken Coleman)
The Irish Post Music Awards are launching this summer with support from IMRO, TG4 and INEC.
Taking place on June 7 in the INEC Killarney, Co. Kerry these Awards build on the success of the Irish Post Country Music Awards and The Irish Post awards which took place in 2017.
Ten of the country’s top acts will perform under one roof for an incredible night of Irish music. With awards in nine categories, including Best Country, Best Folk and Best Pop/Rock, a Lifetime Achievement Award will also be revealed on the evening.
Winners will be picked by a panel of distinguished judges and a public vote. An Outstanding Contribution to Songwriting, Best Album and Best Single will also be honored on the evening alongside a Best Indie Award and Outstanding Contribution to TV/Radio.
