It will also be available to watch worldwide via the TG4 online player: www.tg4.ie/en/player/watch-live/ Irish folk artist Sina Theil is making waves as one of the most energetic, passionate and hard working artists on the Irish music scene. She is currently touring the island of Ireland with rising folk sensation Dan McCabe. Sina has been awarded 'Hottest Act in Irish Country Music (female )' and 'Song of the Year' at the Hot Country TV Awards, and 'Rising Star of the Year 2022' at the American Celtic Listener Supported Music Awards. She has had 17 number one singles in the Irish Country Charts and a number one in the main Irish Charts with her latest self-penned song. After relocating to Ireland in 2015 to pursue her dream of making music, Sina started funding her musical education through busking on the streets of Dublin - sometimes making just enough in the morning to cover bills that had to be paid in the afternoon. Speaking about her brave decision to leap into the unknown in Ireland, Sina says: “To be honest, it was a complete act of faith. All odds were against me. I didn’t know anyone in Ireland, had no social media, very little money and never even played a professional gig! But I had that burning desire and dream.”
Sina’s independently released album 'Live at THT Galway', for which she crowdfunded over €16,000 with the help of her loyal 50,000+ online following, scored her a no.3 in the main Irish Charts ahead of global superstars like Ed Sheeran. Her songs have been heard by close to 33 million Irish radio listeners.
