Tilly Cripwell

Lots of experience of performing to crowds as large as 1000, in an array of venues. Some of these venues are festivals, the Mumbai Opera House, general events, weddings, funerals etc. Can play anything from 80s music to contemporary music to self-composed music; can tailor performance to client’s preferences! Most popular songs are covered in an original way while maintaining their essence, and can be performed both acoustically or in a more upbeat way. I can guarantee a heart-warming, fun, professional performance, either singing with the guitar, piano or with other musicians.

I am ambitious, 24-year-old singer-songwriter-guitarist. My folk-acoustic style centres on lyrics, vocals and harmonies, aiming to deliver powerful messages through thoughtful songwriting. I also enjoy playing covers of my favourite songs for the entertainment of others. My latest self-released singles, Leave Molly Alone and Inspiration, reflect the value of activism through music and songwriting. My key inspirations include Tracy Chapman, Eva Cassidy, Joan Baez and Bob Dylan for the way they manipulate lyrics. 

I busked on Grafton Street (Dublin) from September 2022-May 2025, and have been performing at festivals, gigs, concerts and open mics consistently since the age of 11. I have performed to crowds of up to 2,000 people, and in venues such as The Mumbai Opera House. I now perform both as a solo artist and as a bassist for the pop-rock band, Patience Please. I will release my concept album, The Mood Board, in the first half of 2026, and will showcase this at many further gigs.

I have no typical clients; my clients vary hugely and I like to be able to tailor my musical act to their preferences and events! I am happy to take requests, whether during the event or in advance, and very much like to adapt my set to suit the general vibe of the event and ensure that everyone remains entertained and engaged.

I have classical musical training, a languages degree and am currently completing a qualification in songwriting which, aside from the theory, offers me incredible exposure to and insights into the music industry.
