Amy Barrett is doubly fortunate. First, she was born with a gift, a natural ability to play and sing music. Second, she comes from Dunlavin. It sometimes seems as though everyone in the village has a tale to tell. And, though Amy may be a mere 22 years of age, she already has the opening instalment of her life story ready to relate, a narrative showing how it is possible to harness talent on two fronts. Not only is she possessed of a commanding yet sweet alto voice but she also has a degree in chemistry to be proud of and a growing career as an adviser to pharmaceutical and IT companies.
The Choral Scholars of University College Dublin have just released ‘Ireland You’re My Home’, the lead single of their upcoming EP and it features soloist Amy Barrett from Dunlavin.
