The Joni Project: Edel Meade Interview

Few artists have shaped the landscape of popular music as much as Joni Mitchell. Her poetry, insight and originality have influenced so many that contemporary songwriting without her is unimaginable.

Award-winning singer, Edel Meade, and the legendary guitarist, Dick Farrelly, pay tribute to the iconic Canadian singer-songwriter performing an eclectic blend of Mitchell's back catalogue including songs from Blue, The Hissing Of Summer Lawns and Court and Spark.

Dick Farrelly has performed, recorded and toured worldwide with some of the biggest names in the business such as Van Morrison, Sinéad O'Connor, Mary Coughlan and Honor Heffernan while Edel Meade is highly regarded as one of the most promising young Irish singers to emerge in recent years.

Hailing from Clonmel, we caught up with Edel for a chat this week to find out about The Joni Project, what drew Edel to the music of Joni Mitchell and what Kilkenny audiences can expect when herself and Dick Farrelly take to the Set Theatre on 6 September. #jonimitchell #music #interview #kilkenny #ireland
