Solo@Home - Farah Elle

Thursday, 6 August 2020, 8.00pm

Droichead Arts Centre’s Solo @ Home is a video podcast series curated by SJ McArdle. The series is presented as part of #DroicheadConnects, a programme which supports art and creativity during the pandemic.

The idea of the podcast is to give us an insight into the lockdown experience of four disparate musicians and present a bespoke home-recorded performance by each. The interviews and performances are intimate, engaging and unique to this series. The series will be presented on our YouTube channel Droichead.Arts.Centre https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQro862tgmLkiMa4dCuuy6g

Farah Elle is a singer-songwriter whose distinctive music reveals something of the beauty in the ephemeral everyday. Farah has eclectic influences, including North African echoes from her Libyan background. Raised in Ireland, she moved to Dublin with her family as a newborn child. Her ethos as an artist is to spread awareness & positivity through her music. Farah also holds wellness workshops to empower people creatively through self-expression & sound. While performing shows regularly, Farah is currently preparing to release her debut album 'FATIMA', named after her mother; due to be released in 2020.

"... the ethereal Farah Elle, whose demure, pixie meet Audrey Hepburn persona, won the crowd over. Working her inner Freddie Mercury with plucky, Queen-like piano and ethnic music influences, the distinctive singer stood out as an act to watch out for."
