Last week, as part of the Lifelong Learning Festival, three incredible women from Edel House celebrated the launch of their very own single—an achievement that came after months of dedication, creativity, and hard work writing and shaping their song and melody. Performing in front of a packed audience in Goldie Chapel at Nano Nagle Place, they debuted their piece with confidence and heart, marking a truly special moment for everyone involved.

We are so proud of all they have accomplished, and also want to recognise their musician, Fabrice, who worked tirelessly alongside them to help bring their vision to life.
