JOE’s Song Of The Day #663: Conor Ward ‘Hope’

Eric Lalor

Conor Ward

Conor Ward lending his voice to a brilliant cause.

Conor Ward is a singer/songwriter from Mayo who was recently described as one of “Ireland’s Rising Acts” by Hot Press Magazine. We’re very aware of his talents here too.

Conor launched his debut EP, Wanderlust, late last year and it received plenty of airplay on local and national stations. Since the release, he has played support to Hermitage Green and The Stunning at sold-out shows as well as packing out a show of his own in Whelan’s. He also played at this year’s Electric Picnic.

His new song, ‘Hope’, is a poignant yet infectiously catchy folk-pop track about mental health and overcoming adversity, with a music video that was shot by Crude Media in conjunction with Limerick Suicide Watch. It explores the theme of mental health and attempts to raise awareness for all those suffering in silence.
