Audiences enjoy her arrangements of tradtional favourites as well as self-penned songs, often requesting Evie?s Lullaby, a song written to the tune of Jessica?s Lullaby by John McCusker.

Louise is excited to be releasing her d?but solo album, Give Me A Day, produced by Michael McGoldrick. Comprising of 11 tracks, Give Me A Day offers a rich blend of traditional and contemporary folk music with deeply personal storytelling, showcasing Louise's evocative vocals and songwriting supported by Michael mcGoldrick's instrumental expertise.

That same month, she was delighted to be selected to perform on the Danny Kyle Open Stage at Celtic Connections. In 2023, she won the Great British Folk Festival?s Audience Vote. In the Spring of that same year, she was invited to sing with McCusker, McGoldrick and Doyle on two of their UK Tour dates.

Louise has regularly performed as a duo with Chris Rogan, the pair being known as "flawless performers" by FATEA's Tim Fox. Their album "Things that Matter", released in 2023, was described as "the best release in the traditional genre I've heard" by Bob Leslie of Celtic music Radio.
