Kildare singer set for TV appearance this week

The German born multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Sina Theil relocated to Ireland in 2015 by herself “in an act of blind faith” to pursue her desire to make music.

Her Irish national TV concert debut is on February 4 at 7:30pm on TG4 with her concert “Live at THT Galway”. The concert will be available on television via TG4 and worldwide for streaming via the TG4 online player at https://www.tg4.ie/en/player/watch-live/ 

Recalling her decision to come her Sina said: “To be honest, it was a complete act of faith. All odds were against me; I didn’t know anyone in Ireland, had no social media, very little money and never even played a professional gig. But I had a dream and a burning desire.” 

Sina started funding her musical education through busking on the streets of Dublin; sometimes making just enough in the morning to cover bills that had to be paid in the afternoon.

Since then she has been awarded “hottest act” and “song of the year” at the Hot Country TV Awards and “rising star of the year” award at the American Celtic Listener supported music awards. She’s had seventeen number one singles in the Irish country charts and a number one in the main Irish charts with her latest self-penned song.

She is currently touring the Island of Ireland as special guest with rising folk sensation Dan McCabe, who’s “The Journey” tour is selling out venues  across the island, including the National Stadium on March 10. Tickets and information available at  https://www.danmccabe-music.com/)
