Regular ME JEWEL AND DARLIN' DUBLIN ELLYD (Elaine
Doyle) is Dublin born and based singer songwriter who has just released ‘I Will Wait’, the first single taken from her debut album Tomorrow Be Kind which is due for release later this year. Speaking about the new single, ELLYD said the song is about love and patience. "I wrote the song while I was on a songwriting break in Portnoo in Donegal, it’s about having patience with someone you love and letting them know you will always be there for them. It's the first track on the album and I think it gives a good taste of what's to come." She has played some of the country's biggest festivals and venues including Electric Picnic, Indiependence, Vicar Street and The Olympia and supported acts like Aslan, The Riptide Movement and many more over the last year or so. Where do you live? If I’m going into town I like to get the bus in and walk from there. I love to have a wander around town. Do you have a secret refuge/ hiding place in the city? The Phoenix Park - we’re so lucky to have it on our doorstep and the fact that it’s just a short stroll into the city makes it special. If you found €50 on the street where would you spend it? Probably in The Saucy Cow! Yum. Favourite pub? I love Brogans. Nice pint of Guinness, Iovely for a quiet one, and great craic in the evenings. Solid all rounder. Favourite building/Street? Wall of Fame on the Button Factory. There’s something special about that particular spot for me. PAGE 46 Favourite shop/cafe/eatery? I like going to La Caverna for a date night or special occasion. They’ve a great vegan menu, food is delicious, and the staff are fab. Favourite Irish artists? Gemma Hayes, Imelda May, The Riptide Movement, Sprints, Aslan, Fontaines D.C… to name a few. Favourite Irish album that you own? That’s a tough one because there are so many Irish albums that I love but it would probably be Aslan - Made in Dublin. Favourite spot for dancing? Jackie’s - love that place! What do you miss about the Dublin of your Twenties? Being physically able to stay out into the early hours and getting a De Fontaines on the way home. One thing you love about Dublin? The people. One thing you hate about Dublin? The prices. One thing Dublin needs more of? Sun! If I ruled Dublin I would... Inject a lot of more love and kindness into it. ‘I Will Wait’ is available now on all streaming platforms. ELLYD will be touring in October to promote her debut album Tomorrow Be Kind.
