The O'Neill Sisters, hailing from Kerry, Ireland, share their musical journey from early aspirations to their breakout success with their rendition of 'Red Is The Rose'. This article explores their influences, career highlights, and the resurgence of their Irish roots.
The O’Neill Sisters’ enchanting voices have resonated with many famous faces throughout the years, with the Kerry natives performing for the likes of Hillary Clinton, the Princess of Monaco and Vanity Fair’ s Oscars theme party. The sisters have also toured extensively across America, Europe and Asia.
"My mum decided to stay here in Ireland and she lived in Kerry, that’s how she met my dad. One of her sisters went back to Los Angeles and the other moved to Waterford. When they got together, there were always harmonies, guitars and sing-songs, so that really influenced us." Fiona went home and said to her sisters that they were putting together a group. "Eve and Naomi were 12 and eight at the time. That was the start of it. Dermot gave us lots of advice, we travelled around and did different town shows and gigged wherever we could."
As the sister got older, the sound changed. "We were brought up on Irish music and American folk. We loved pop too, so our aim was always to do a Celtic pop sound. We went to New York and worked with different songwriters, we even got onto the radio there. Highlights include their trip to Japan 10 years ago. "We got to play in Orchard Hall in Tokyo. I loved that whole experience, we played all over the country. We also played in Santiago in Chile for two weeks, we were performing for dignitaries and diplomats there.
