Niamh McKinney is a singer-songwriter from Wicklow. Having kept notebooks of poetry since childhood, she didn't start writing songs until one day in 2015, when songs suddenly started pouring out. Unsure as to the nature of what she had composed during this first creative burst, a form of validation came a month later when she won the Allingham Songwriting Competition with one of the first songs she wrote.
      Poetically rich - both lyrically and melodically - her heart-rending songs draw on stories and life experience, captivating by way of their ethereal sense of urgency and foreboding.
     Niamh writes her songs a capella. Her musical partner and husband Stephen McKinney (who has previously played guitar and synths with prog rock fusion band Leo Drezden) then crafts evocative guitar accompaniment which interweaves seamlessly with the songs, complementing their haunting quality. The two are currently working on producing their debut album.

Here is one of my poems

Rainy Night
It was a rainy night
And the clouds wept from on high
The rain, the rain is falling
oh the rain is falling, as the fears of the past collide
Like the circles of times past confide
though we are under an angry sky
We are lovers bound together
In the shadow of the autumn weather
Holding back from sweet surrender
To love and all the  joy it brings
I feel the pain of another night without you by my side
these rain clouds will never subside
Till the strangers and the lovers
Take their refuge
In the shadow of the deluge
Washing all this heartache away
Till you return to me
Like the dawning of a brand new day
Look into your heart again
Let the feelings flow like the pouring rain
I know we can never be the same again
Though something's lost, there's something gained
Listen to the rhythms of the rain
Listen to the rhythms  of the rain
And your love can return and remain
