Described as ‘Galway’s alt-folk queen’ the singer will join RTÉ Radio 1’s Ray D’Arcy today at 3pm to chat about her Eurosong entry Fire. From its poetic legacy to its evocative landscapes and rich storytelling— it’s been said her work paints “a hauntingly unique perspective”. Reylta, whose real name is Caoimhe Glynn, began performing with her band in 2017 and two years later released her debut single Fools Games.
