Women's Work 2021 is delighted to offer a taster of the Magy's Farm Session from Rhian Brownlow. The ‘Magysfarm Collective’ was set up by husband and wife team Dr. Linley Hamilton and Maggie Doyle. Maggie is a former Editor of Music at BBC Radio Ulster and Linley a University Lecturer in Music at Magee, BBC Jazz broadcaster and established trumpet player. The two operate a music space at their farm where they provide opportunities for musicians to play, rehearse, record and perform. In July 2020 they established the Collective, which was designed to bring elite talent to the next level and secure pathways into the industry for the most gifted young performers. Five girls from UU Music: Niamh Murray, Cara Quinn, Rhian Brownlow, Clodagh May and Lara O’Donnell are the focus of the project and are producing amazing original songs that have been recorded and produced by an eleven-person team of mentors:

Vocal coaches: Dana Masters, Liane Carroll

Songwriting coach: Jude Johnstone USA

Producers: Matt Curran, Michael Mormeecha, Peter Docherty and Rocky O’Reilly Overview: Foy Vance

Musicians: Liam Bradley drums, Mark Egan USA bass, John McCullough keys

The girls have written and recorded 29 songs so far and shot a live 30-minute Gig video each, one song from each video is being featured at 2021 Women’s Work Festival. They continue to work and grow and the project continues to develop phases as we aim to support the girls as they progress their career and take any opportunities that come their way.
