Frances Black is one of Ireland’s best-loved singers. First heard with Dublin’s famed Black Family and as a contributor to the phenomenon that was A Woman’s Heart, she went on to major solo success in the 1990s with a string of best-selling albums. Beyond music, she founded the RISE Foundation, supporting families affected by addiction, and has served as an independent Senator since 2016 — though on stage, it’s the voice and the songs that do the talking.
