Debut single from Yvonne McCarthy

Yvonne McCarthy from Askeaton began performing live at the young age of 10 making appearances with her father, Willie McCarty in his band Flashback and in more recent years in her brother’s band ‘Acoustra’.  She went on to study songwriting and music in the Stiofan Naofa Performing Arts College in Cork where she achieved distinctions in performance. It was here that Yvonne began recording and writing on guitar and piano.

She has since travelled and gigged throughout Europe, New Zealand & Australia, experiences that inspired her debut album ‘Midnight Mail’. Her first commercial single, ‘You don’t know me’ will be released in the coming weeks.

Recorded by Dave Keary of  Red Door Productions, ‘You don’t know me’ is a classic and classy pop song, all 60’s sounding lush orchestration, given the full Phil Spector treatment with Ronettes style harmonies all led by Yvonne’s natural soulful voice. It’s a gem.

A video for the single has been made by Paul Tarpy and will get it’s debut screening at Yvonne’s gig with her band, The McDeadly’s in Dolans on Friday, September 3. Check out ‘You don’t know me’ on www.musiclimerick.com.
