She has played at Ireland’s biggest community festival at Féile an Phobail in Belfast and recently performed at the renowned Fiddler’s Green Festival in Rostrevor. Bernadette’s travels have also taken her to the Liverpool Irish Festival and and to the famous St Patrick’s Day Festival in Portland, Oregon.
Having recently performed at a sell-out gig during the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival in Belfast, the Tyrone native is currently recording her debut album.
