Denise Ellison

Story

Denise grew up in a small town in Lancashire, England, and has been living in the West of Ireland for the last 24 years. Since 2004 she’s been busy writing songs - some of which ended up on her album ‘Ebb and Flow’, recorded with well-known local Irish musician Tommy Hayes and released in 2007. Denise has performed at gigs and festivals locally over the past few years, and opened a set for Alabama 3 in 2010 during the Galway Arts Festival.  She spent 3 years in a local indie band playing rythmn guitar and a backing vocalist. Busking is a regularly activity these days in the local town, whilst still composing her own songs for her next album. She also accompanies a local Wedding Singer at church ceremonies and drinks receptions. For Denise, music is an expression of the soul - she hopes that others will enjoy listening to her music, and that it will touch their hearts in some way.
