More info below:

Eleanor McEvoy’s current and vast achievement’s may be sometimes overshadowed by the success of A Woman’s Heart, yet McEvoy’s solo work remains to win over the hearts of many music lovers both Nation and worldwide. With 9 studio albums under her belt, (Singled Out, Love Must Be Tough, Out There, Early Hours, Eleanor McEvoy ‘Special Edition’, Yola, Snapshots, What’s Following Me and Eleanor McEvoy) Eleanor still has more to come and will continue to write and compose new material and co-write with musicians such as Dave Rotheray (ex- Beautiful South) and composers such as Paul Brady.

In Recent news- Eleanor features on well-known broadcaster and rugby pundit George Hooks new Duets album where she sings ‘Is That Love?’ with George-  it is also the only original song on the album and one that she wrote with Paul Brady.  Eleanor’s song (that she wrote withHenry Priestman of The Christians) “Something So Wonderful” is also on The Dublin Gospel Choir’s new album (Doing Their Thing) released by Warner Records.

Please read on as we tell you more about the Irish Chanteuse.

Eleanor McEvoy with her signature songwriting and musical career has been hailed as one of‘Irelands finest and best known Female acts’.  And rightly so, her music has appeared in the US Top 10 Billboard Charts (‘Precious little’) and US television network ‘ABC’s popular series Clueless’ (‘A Glass Unkissed’), McEvoy also sang Bill Whelan’s song ‘The Seabird’ in Some Mother’s Son starring Helen Mirren, written by Jim Sheridan and Terry George. Her song ‘Whisper a Prayer to the Moon’ features in ‘The Nephew’ starring Pierce Brosnan. The cult HBO series ‘Six Feet Under’ featured the song ‘All I Have’ written by Caroline Lavelle and McEvoy. All of the above mark Eleanor as a globally acclaimed and much celebrated songwriter and composer, whereas in her homeland of Ireland; Eleanor is well known as the writer behind ‘A woman’s heart’, the lead track taken from the same titled album that went on to be one ‘the biggest selling Irish albums of all time’. *In the same week that A Woman’s Heart was released, Tom Zutaut A & R from Geffen Records, who had previously signed Guns & Roses, Motley Crew, and Edie Brickell, offered McEvoy a worldwide recording deal after watching her perform at The Baggot Inn in Dublin.

From a basement bar, to a major record deal and working with world class Grammy Award Winning producers to worldwide tours with The Fugees & Fiona Apple and duets with artists of the caliber of Richard Thompson, McEvoy is an award winning, long withstanding artist of the highest grace and courtesy.  It is no wonder that Eleanor has so many loyal and dedicated fans around the globe. (Including former President Bill Clinton, whom she sang for in front of 80,000 spectators) Her songs communicate so honestly and eloquently to so many people on subjects, which are common to us all. It is Eleanor’s honest attitude to music that has won her many fans and as a songwriter Eleanor has had songs covered by artists as diverse asEmmylou Harris, Sonja Kristina, Mary Black and Phil Coulter.

**For press, radio dj’s and producers (including bloggers) reading this, please do not hesitate to contact me with reference to possible features and interviews with Eleanor McEvoy.

Thank you for your time.

Label Sampler available now to all press & radio.
Label Launch tour commences Dec 1st 2009 go to www.​subplotrecords.​com NOW!

The Music industry IS changing. Some see it as a significant demise; others see it as a natural Revolve. SubPlot Records isn’t claiming to be a groundbreaking new industry model. It’s not a revolutionary new concept: It’s an age-old tale of pulling together, taking things into your own hands and doing what you believe in.

Ireland, in the winter of 2009 seems a fitting time and place for the birth of a new Independent record label that will live and die by these principals. By paying homage to the very best of alternative music Ireland can produce, living or dying outside the bounds of the templates of the crumbling cultural monopoly known as the music industry. The result is a progressive, edgy, twenty-first century music label that utilizes and embraces the tools at hand – the online and the face to face, the physical and the digital, while establishing uncompromising principles.

Auxiliary to the mainstream -”SUBPLOT”- is a musician’s label whose purpose lies in being a platform for energetic, honest and simply explosive alternative rock bands. It is not the brainchild of industry veterans, but the brainchild of producers, musicians and fans that share a refreshing and respectful love of music.

THE RIVER VALLEY BAND have been officially invited to play their new single ‘KIMBERLY’ at the interval of The Magners League – Leinster V Cardiff Blues match on October 31st 2009 in the RDS Dublin, Ireland to an estimated 18,000 people audience.

THE RIVER VALLEY BANDS- SINGLE- “KIMBERLY” is out on Oct 16^th 2009

Text ‘music 3919’ to 57501 to buy on your mobile phone

‘Collectively made up of Danny Coady on vocals, mandolin & rhythm guitar, Eoghan Leadbetter on piano & rhythm guitar, Conor Brett on lead guitar & vocals,  Liam Teehan on bass guitar and finally David Thompson on drums & vocals. These are 5 young men with instruments in their hands and a recession at their feet’.

Described by radio around Ireland as “Absolutely Brilliant- they will be pushing doors open where ever they go!” – PAT KENNY RTE RADIO 1, “Absolutely Fantastic”- Dublin’s Country Mix, “ Class” – WLRFM. The River Valley Band’s music is drenched in a ‘semi-south American rock and roll country tone’, so do not be surprised of the fact that they are all Kilkenny-born. Reminiscent of The Band, insofar as it’s evident that these are five individual musicians working democratically, they are not led by any one or two persons with added musicians filling ‘roles’, but are a collaboration of ideas and come across as a rich and textured mature sounding group.  Their first offering – a full bellied assortment of deep rooted rock n’ roll is titled ‘KIMBERLY’ and has a release date of 12.01 am on October the 16th in the year 2009. All steps in their master plan for releasing their first album, Drunk in the Wine Cellar, in early 2010. The music for the album was written behind a glassblowing factory, with plenty of heat, tea, coffee, comfortable chairs and an ensemble of instruments.

Official TOUR: After a full house in The Academy2 in late September 2009, The River Valley Band came to the conclusion that the live circuit needs them…. A full Nationwide tour will be announced very soon on their website and will see the band play all over Ireland with some European dates too in November 09 right up till 2010. They play this weekend in their hometown of Kilkenny in The Bridgebrook Arms on Friday night, and on the Saturday night they will play in Ryans Back Room in Kilkenny after an earlier instore @4pm in Heart Beat City record shop.
