EFÉ is a 25-year-old Irish artist from Dublin, blending indie rock, synths and fun! She’s a writer, producer, and creative director whose catalogue feels diaristic yet made for the dance floor.  

The last year has seen that sound mature in real time, refined through live sets, collaborations, and now amplified by the kind of breakout moment artists can’t manufacture. With a growing fan base that’s expanding by the hour, and a sound that resists easy categorisation, she’s setting the pace for Ireland’s new wave of creatives.

Seeds for Songs explores the journey of returning to the land of body, and the land of upbringing. By means of music, Sailhymn shares their soulful reconnection with the generous, bold spirit of living heritage at The Barna Way through a residency with Brilliant Ballybunion.  

Sailhymn is a singer-songwriter based in the West of Ireland. They have been on the original music scene since 2011, creating and showcasing their work at home and abroad under ‘Katie O’Connor’.  Early 2025 illuminated Sailhymn’s sense of self as transgender and with it a desire to come back to their roots in Ballybunion whilst navigating the binds worth breaking of binary beliefs, shadows of mortality and morality, the dance of disillusionment and the sensual surrender to the awe of everything, here, now.
