Fiercely Visible
Concert, Comedy + Ritual
And so here we go, into the new visions of me, versions of you! Lyrics from my song Infinite Joy - so appropriate for this new adventure into making a show around my songs!
We began last week with band rehearsals with the epic instrument playing of:
Damian Mills on electric Djembe - YEAH!
Cat Barter on bass guitar, synth and backing vocals - SO GOOD!
Cian O'Reilley on various guitars, synth/keys and backing vocals - BABY!
This week I start creative development for the theatrical bits with the ridiculously wonderful Afa Foolheart, directing me. She is a wild musical clown. Then we'll have 2 weeks with the full team, after which YOU will come and witness and partake in the tasting the fruits of our labour, and giving some feedback. This baby needs some help being birthed!
It is scary AF but that's why I'm doing it. It's just time to really let myself be as I am, unapologetically and joyfully!
The show adventures into the fears and fulfillment in allowing yourself to really be seen, known and loved in all your dark and light. We explore an alternative vision of what it means to “get real”. Rachael and the band leap beyond logic and shoulds into the wild heartfelt (non)senses of the body, and the beautiful absurdity of the cosmic joke… No-one is actually in control (aghhhhhhh), and everything is unknown, illusion and up for play (really?).
Can they really allow themselves to be real? What does that even mean? Or will they crumble under the enormous weight of Rachael’s ego?
At the very least there will be some great songs, spanning genres of electro, folk and folk-rock, as well as disco. Also expect crystals, oracle cards, manifestation and taboos like sex, death and rebirth, cos this is going to be spiritual AF. The audience will be invited into some sincere and playful moments of ritual and connection if they so choose to “enhance their experience into higher realms of consciousness”. Don’t worry, you probably won’t be initiated into a cult.
Expect laughter, connection, and cosmic chaos.

About My Music
I'm a Northern Irish musician, playing and writing vocals, piano and guitar. My songs are a musical adventure into consciousness from the heart, to uplift and inspire. My influences range from Joni Michel, to Moloko, Nina Simone and Deya Dova. My first album "NITYA" is multi-genre, including cosmic chill electro, folk and rock-folk as well as disco! Supported by funding from the National Lottery - Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Resiliency Fund & Creative Individuals Recovery Programme.
I'm currently working on my live show called "Fiercely Visible". It is a blend of concert, comedy and ritual. See more info above. I also work in circus, theatre, intimacy coaching and energy work. Check out the tabs in the menu for some of that!
