The Secret Singers

The Secret Singers is a platform for diverse singers who sing beautifully but who are not yet known.

The Secret Singers supports singers who are women from diverse backgrounds who are already on a musical journey but who are not yet widely recognised.

Are you a brilliant singer? Would you like to perform in a great venue with other fantastic singers? Would you like some high quality footage of yourself performing?

If so, we want to connect with you! Apply below by Monday 14th October at midnight.

The first Secret Singers ( see our promo video here ) took place in axis in November 2023 with the amazing Asha Ari, Caitlin Donovan and Farah Elle. We are beyond excited to form our next group of fabulous singers! In 2024 we are specifically interested in women who are living in Ballymun and North Dublin.

The Secret Singers project is curated and produced by Tríona Ní Dhuibhir / Tríona Sings with Axis Ballymun. The platform supports singers with varying levels of performance and recording experience, and seeks to advance their practice as singers and artists. The project welcomes expressions of interest from women living in Ballymun and North Dublin of all races and creeds, from members of the Traveller Community, and from anybody who may have experienced barriers on their journey as a singer. The Secret Singers fosters an atmosphere of respect, support, connection and inclusivity in line with Axis’ Charter for Belonging.

A bursary to prepare for a showcase at Axis plus high quality video of the performance is provided to all singers. The showcase performance takes place in Axis Ballymun on Friday 31st January the eve of Imbolg/Lá Fhéile Bríde, Ireland’s ancient celebration of the goddess.
