ELLEN ARTHUR BLYTH
Support from Aoife Doyle
LIVE AT WHELAN’S, DUBLIN
Sunday 6th November, 2022

Dublin-based singer songwriter Ellen Arthur Blyth has recently unveiled her long-awaited debut album ‘Nine’. The unique dreamy jazz-pop sound includes the release of the single ‘Young Ones,’ title track ‘Nine’ and the epic ballad ‘God Knows” all of which earned Ellen support from Lyric FM as "Marty Recommends album of the week" and radio plays on The Ryan Tubridy Show, The John Creedon Show and Ronan Collins and acclaim from publications such as Notion, Earmilk, Hotpress and Nialler9.

Following the success of her electric gig at The Sugar Club, Ellen is performing again in her home town backed by some of the best musicians in Ireland. It promises to be a magical night of entertainment not to be missed.

Recorded in Hell Fire Studios, Dublin and produced by Alex Borwick, head engineer of the famed Grouse Lodge Studios, the impressive sound walks a tightrope of consonance and dissonance, nostalgia and joy, resulting in a finely poised drama of soft, lilting melody and haunting wistfulness. The vocal, at once resonant, is at times achingly honest and captivates from beginning to end.

With the plethora of talent behind it, ‘Nine’ does not sing like the debut album it is, but instead stands as an accomplished piece, unapologetic, stylish and yet encapsulating the fears and aspirations of a nine-year old girl tottering about in her sister’s high heels, belting out numbers into her hair brush.
