Niall McCabe

One of Ireland's rising songwriters and musicians

We are delighted to present one of Irelands rising songwriters and musicians, he is making big waves here and abroad.

With self-effacing humour and stories told of growing up on a remote Irish Island Niall McCabe possess an effortless charm which both captivates and liberates his audience. Like the wild Atlantic landscape of his home McCabe’s songs feel timeless and natural yet bely the dense shaping of a dynamic creative force. Deft, intricate guitar work brings a lightness to the weight of Island isolation yet the sound, soul and stories of McCabe’s life and experiences breathe a deep cultured sense of discernment through his vocals. His natural distinct voice is earning him a growing loyal fanbase, discovering his music as he travels extensively, with his recent album tour schedule bringing him to venture off the Island, across Ireland, UK, Europe and North America.

As well as becoming an accomplished finger-style guitar player, Niall has been lending his unique voice to Irish trad-fusion band ‘Beoga’, touring Ireland, Europe and the USA while also playing support for Ed Sheeran, Foy Vance and Johnny Swim and opening for Chris Issak on his UK Tour, to two sold out audiences at Eventim Apollo London and Wolverhampton Civic Halls. Plus, opened for Sharon Shannon at NY City Winery in Sept. 2023. More recently appearred as a featured guest singer with Transatlantic Sessions on the main stage at Cambridge Folk Festival 2024.

McCabe’s eagerly anticipated ‘Rituals’ album was released in February 2023 to wide critical acclaim and featured as RTE Album of the Week, while the song Rituals topped the RTE Radio airplay charts for five consecutive weeks. His new album ’Stranger’ was released in 2025 to widespread acclaim and an invitation to a debut appearance on the world famous Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee.
