Aoibha

Headline show.

We are delighted to present AOIBHA as this year’s CQAF Artist in Residence. The last 12 months have seen AOIBHA begin to make a serious impact with a host of impressive support slots and a sold-out full band show.

A native of Co. Down, AOIBHA’s indie-folk textures pulse with a gothic energy that subtly echoes her love for dusky literary classics like Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre.

AOIBHA’s music is woven with vivid imagery and soundscapes, drawing inspiration from Irish artists like Joshua Burnside and Lemoncello, whose sublime folk storytelling and haunting harmonies resonate deeply.

“AOIBHA is a master at crafting music that exudes serenity… If there was ever music for late night listening while getting lost in your thoughts, this is it.”– Chordblossom

“The singer-songwriter’s lyrics are vulnerable but her sound is still 100% her own. This is only the beginning of AOIBHA’s journey…”–Hot Press
