BALCONYTV.COM 1/10/06 PRESENTED BY TOM MILLETT It was obvious from an early age where Eleanor McEvoy's interests lay. The career of one of Ireland's most popular songwriters started at age four when she performed at an Irish music competition as the lead singer in her sister's band. At eight, she took up the violin, and attended the College of music in Dublin for piano and violin up until 1985. Upon finishing school she attended the prestigious Trinity College in Dublin where she studied music by day and worked in pit orchestras by night. She graduated from Trinity with an honours degree and was accepted to the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland. Eleanor worked with the Symphony Orchestra for five years before she finally took the plunge and left the classical world behind her to concentrate on her real passion - songwriting. Eleanor McEvoy achieved star status in Ireland in 1992 when her song "Only A Woman's Heart" inspired the title for and appeared on, the "A Woman's Heart" anthology album. It has since become the best selling album in Irish history, even eclipsing records by such legendary Irish artists as Van Morrison and U2. "A Woman's Heart" stayed in the Top 10 for over a year. 1994 saw the world-wide release of her self-titled debut on Geffen Records, "Eleanor McEvoy". Eleanor toured the USA, Europe and the Far East in support of the album, building up a loyal fanbase and racking up international sales. Leading Irish music magazine Hot Press placed the album amongst the top debuts of that year. 1996 was a busy year for Eleanor starting with the release of her second album "What's following Me?" described by Billboard magazine as "a...as must hear album.." this release featured the single "Precious Little". Eleanor again toured internationally playing to sold out venues in the USA and Europe. The second single, "Whisper A Prayer To The Moon" was featured in the Pierce Brosnan film, " The Nephew", which was released August 1998. Eleanor's involvement with film continued with her performance of "The Seabird" for the soundtrack of "Some Mother's Son" staring Helen Mirren , written by "Riverdance" composer Bill Whelan. Eleanor released her third album "Snapshots" in 1999. Produced by Rupert Hine, the album recieved rave reviews on both sides of the Atlantic. The Boston Globe described the album as "a gem...Its traversal of country, Celtic, and cosmic bar room styles is exhilarating..... SNAPSHOTS effectively freezes the listener in its frame". On the release of the latest album Yola, UK Magazine MOJO wrote that "....the glorious simplicity of this release feels like a homecoming in every sense. ...the performances are beautifully restrained.." With co-writing credits going to Lloyd Cole, and Henry Priestman (The Christians), the album is available on the new "super audio" SACD format. As a songwriter Eleanor has had her songs covered by artists as diverse as Emmylou Harris, Phil Coulter and Mary Black. Caroline Lavelle's version of the McEvoy/Lavelle composition "All I Have" features in the latest episodes of the cult USA television series "Six Feet Under".

Johnny McEvoy, singing The Ballad of John Williams. 1981. written by Johnny McEvoy. The Ballad of John Williams {Johnny McEvoy} When last I saw John Williams, a young man full of pride His lovely bride of just four days was standing by his side He smiled and slapped me by the hand, saying "Boyo can't you see I've seen the last of windswept bogs and bogs the last of me! And the peelers and the landlords and the risings of the moon And if ever I return again, 'twill be too bloody soon". Rich man , poor man, beggar man, wife Sailed away into the night Where they'll wind up no-one knows Round and round the story goes. He said "I'll go and take my chance in far off New York Town For they say there's lots of work there and a good man's not put down And with my lassie by my side we'll build a better home And when the sea trip's over lads we never more will roam" So we said farewell upon the quay, there was nothing left to do But to pray for John and his lovely bride, that their dreams might all come true. How I envied you, John Williams, and your lovely fair haired bride To be sailing on that mighty ship across the ocean wide For she's the finest liner, that was ever built by man And they say there's naught can sink her, no not even God's own hand Man's pride can be his own downfall, that big ship sailed from home And I thought I heard the banshee cry, that chilled me to the bone. Rich man , poor man, beggar man, wife Sailed away into the night Where they'll wind up no-one knows Round and round the story goes Round and around the icebergs flow.

Sophie © ELEANOR MCEVOY I Sophie cannot finish her dinner Says she's eatin' enough Sophie's tryin' to make herself thinner Says she's eatin' too much And her brother says, "You're joking," And her mother's heart is broken Sophie has a hard time copin' And, besides, Sophie's hopin' CHORUS She can be like all the other girls Be just like all the other girls Livin' in an ordinary world Just to fit in, in the ordinary world Just to fit in like an ordinary girl. II Sophie's losin' weight by the minute How did things get this bad? Sophie's family don't understand it Gave her all that they had And her sister won't stop cryin' 'Cause her father says she's dyin' Sophie says she's really tryin' Problem is, Sophie's lying. REPEAT CHORUS How did she get this way? How did she get this way? Through tryin' to hide it. What does it take to say, What does it take to say She's dying, Sophie's dying to ... REPEAT CHORUS Easy To Lose Hope © ELEANOR MCEVOY I My home town's dear to me, it's always in my sight (but) My city's shadows walk around in broad daylight They'll even shoot a woman down for what she writes So now you pay for civil liberty with life CHORUS So hard it's easy to lose hope for everyone So bad it's easier to never take it on But we can't give up And we can't lose hope And we cannot hide away We can overcome But we must be strong And we must not be afraid II You must not ever stop the search for peace within Cause if you find it, there's no better prize to win In losing peace of mind you're losing everything Don't draw away from it whatever shape you're in CHORUS So hard it's easy to lose hope for everyone So bad it's easier to never take it on But we can't give up And we can't lose hope And we cannot hide away We can overcome But we must be strong And we must not be afraid III With all our songs and stories we have brushed aside The very nature of a beast we tried to hide With all the ugliness this city has to fight How could we leave it to a mother and a wife? CHORUS So hard it's easy to lose hope for everyone So bad it's easier to never take it on But we can't give up And we can't lose hope And we cannot hide away We can overcome But we must be strong And we must not be afraid We must not be afraid We must not be afraid CHORUS But we can't give up And we can't lose hope And we cannot hide away We can overcome But we must be strong And we must not be We must not be afraid We must not be afraid
