How was it for you? Irish Examiner arts writer Colette Sheridan selects her highlights of 2020
Colette Sheridan's highlights of the year include Lisa O'Neill, Normal People, Ger and Emelie FitzGibbon's Four Faced Liar, and Olivia O'Leary's radio show.
Live streamed from the National Concert Hall, the enchanting folk singer/songwriter Lisa O'Neill sat on a couch, with a blanket to keep her cosy and a pianist accompanying her for some of her quirky songs.
