Music Officer - Belfast City Council & Co-Founder - Soft Gut Song Camp

I am the dedicated Music Officer within the Culture team at Belfast City Council, focusing on the implementation of our Music Matters roadmap and our UNESCO City of Music aims. I am also the Co-Founder of collaborative song-writing initiative ‘Soft Gut Song Camp’.

In 2021 I gained a Diploma with Distinction in Foundation Music Business through BIMM and was awarded the Local Hero award for Northern Ireland at the AIM Awards.
Previously I have worked across funding, presenting, promoting, producing and management.

I am deeply passionate about both the Irish music industry and my dog, Frances McDormand, in equal measure.
