Singer Tolü Makay, 24, was born in Nigeria. She moved to Ireland aged five, being raised in Tullamore, Co Offaly. Her rendition of the Saw Doctors’ N17 – which she recorded with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra as part of the broadcaster’s New Year’s Eve schedule during the winter – became a viral hit. An episode of the Tolü & Feli Show - recorded at Bantry House - will stream as part of the West Cork Literary Festival from July 10. See: westcorkliteraryfestival.ie
