Ireland has always had a great reputation for rock music. In the 90s Sinead O'Connor, U2 and The Cranberries led the pack. It took a while for the explosion of bubblegum pop which was happening in the UK and Europe to hit Ireland. Una was one of the first Irish female pop vocalists to be launched around the time the success of Boyzone was starting to attract international attention.  Already a session singer she had recorded backing vocals for Something Happens and Aslan. In 1994 she released her debut single "Crawl" which became a huge Irish hit.  But it was with the release of a cover version of Randy Crawford's "You Might Need Somebody" that she discovered the harsh realities of the music industry.   Una continued to perform and formed Boogie Nights a hugely successful party band and continued to release music independently. She then went on a world tour as a solo vocalist in Michael Flatley's "Celtic Tiger". After this She performed in the TV special "The Voice Within" and in 2012 was beaten by Jedward in an attempt to represent Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest after which she took time out to start a family.   When Una's back catalogue goes online there will be a link to it here!

Ep 55: Mother of Invention with Una Gibney

SpudShow 45  Artist - Una Gibney Track 1 - All Alone Track 2 - Sonic Intergration Web Site - http://www.myspace.com/wwwmyspacecomuna Bio - I am a singer and songwriter from Dublin town here in wet old Ireland. i was on a major label in the 90's, which didn't work out so well so here I am plying my wares independently. I sing and model for a living, and haven't done so badly so far, It keeps me in shoes and puts enough money in the purse! I have sang with many of this country's stalworth musicians Live and in Studio. I am touring at the moment with a rather large and expensive stage show, and when at home have a couple of bands on the circuit as well as continuously working on my own music in collaboration with some friends.
