Kate Nash announces a run of intimate Irish shows, following on from her appearances at Irish Festivals this Summer.
Almost 20 years into her career, Nash is more connected with her Irish roots than ever. Her new single is a cover of Sinéad O’Connor’s “Famine”, featuring a new original verse. Following Sinéad’s passing in 2023, Kate revisited her discography and was struck by “Famine”, a song which fused spoken word, hip-hop and heartache that broke through decades of silence surrounding one of Ireland’s deepest wounds, the Great Hunger.
Kate valued O’Connor’s ability to illuminate a history she had never been taught in school or at home. By covering the song, Kate hopes to continue amplifying Sinéad’s words. “If there is ever going to be healing, there has to be remembering, then grieving, so that there can be forgiving, there has to be knowledge and understanding.”
This autumn, Nash will be travelling around the island of Ireland taking this new music to Derry, Cork, Kilkenny and Dublin in a series of intimate shows.
