About Niall hanley
Niall Hanley is a Limerick-born singer-songwriter, raised in Martinstown and now based in Kilfinane. His music blends raw acoustic warmth with reflective, soul-baring lyrics. After stepping away from music for over 12 years, he returned with a renewed voice shaped by life, loss, and experience. Influenced by the melodic honesty of R.E.M., the emotional pull of the Cranberries, and the storytelling of Cry Before Dawn, Hanley creates songs that stay with listeners. Whether solo or with his band Meet the Folkers, his stripped-back sound reflects the spirit of 90s indie and Irish folk — music for those who have lived, lost, and still have something real to say.
