ROCKING Film Screening

ROCKING is an interdisciplinary performance-made-for-film in a creative collaboration between early music and contemporary dance.

With just herself and her guitar, she can’t wait to celebrate culture night with you. Aoife is a singer/songwriter hailing from Laois but nesting in Limerick. With inspiration coming from such artists as Tom Waits, Ella Fitzgerald and Lana Del Rey, she’s a lover of all things nostalgic. She blends jazzy tones with her love of storytelling. Showcasing a powerful voice, her stripped back set allows audiences to hear exactly where she’s coming from.
