Claire Heffernan

Described by Hot Press as having "a true flair for song-creation", Claire Heffernan is a solo artist from Limerick with diverse musical influences, embracing soulful contemporary piano-vocals and Celtic harp accompaniments. She can equally be found songwriting, producing, recording, and performing. By her 20s she was studying music to Masters level, graduating first in her class, and it was around this time that she quickly became one of Ireland’s most sought-after soloists. She could be found entertaining thousands of visitors to Ireland each year with her harp and voice at the world-famous Bunratty Castle banquets and all along the Wild Atlantic Way, while also performing nationwide as ‘Ireland’s Best Wedding Musician’, a title held for 3 years consecutively. Most recently, she worked with Peter Foott, creator of The Young Offenders, on a feature film that is to be announced. Her diverse musical pursuits and ensemble performances have afforded her opportunities to perform in Germany, Amsterdam, Vienna and Estonia; for RTÉ lyric fm, RTÉ’s Today Show, and National Geographic. Her most recent single, Gemini, went to No.1 in the iTunes singer/songwriter charts and became one of Hot Press’s “favourite Irish songs of the week”.
