Hotly-tipped Derry singer

SOAK is teenage singer songwriter Bridie Monds-Watson from Derry who everyone is talking about. Alongside column inches aplenty in the local and national press, this understated star featured on the Radio 1 playlist last November with her track Fingers Crossed, taken from her second EP Sea Creatures.

As well as being regularly championed by the BBC Introducing family of shows, SOAK has been described by Snow Patrol’s Gary Lightbody as ‘having unbelievable talent, not only for someone so young, but for anyone at all.’ Nice Gary, very nice.

Often just accompanied by her acoustic guitar, SOAK is a charming and enigmatic performer with a voice that has been compared to Lisa Hannigan and Cat Power.
