Míde Houlihan is a Clonakilty bred singer songwriter, who started gigging as a solo act in late 2011 and has since been playing on a regular basis around Cork. These gigs have included support slots for FRED, Canadian folk singer Doug Paisley and a slot in the Sherkin Responsibilities Festival 2013. Her song 'Nuts and Bolts' won the IMRO Christie Hennessy Songwriting award in 2015. Her single ‘You Know it’s Christmas Time’ (recorded with Bill Shanley in Cauldron Studios) received a great review from none other than Mick Hanly - ‘’I think we have a surfeit of syrup and goo already, but when you hear ‘Eastenders’ being rhymed with ‘preggars’ in a Christmas song setting well s***!... it’s time to tune in.’’ ''Her voice is beautiful, honest, and original; her style is delivered with a bit of attitude which belies her youth.'' - Gary Hannon www.wearenoise.com ''Mide's storytelling is lyrically spellbinding and easy to relate to'' - Jessica Leen www.jessicaleenhighnote.wordpress.com Clonakilty bred singer-songwriter. I like hearing stories and telling stories. Especially good stories.
