Edel Meade is an award-winning vocalist and composer from Clonmel, Co. Tipperary. For her, music-making is less about playing within the confines of a particular genre and more about stretching her abilities as a creative artist with something to say. 

I'm an experienced community musician with a specialism in devised, collaborative work. I have substantial experience working with schools and adult mental health groups and am particularly interested in developing arts and health work with adults. I have built a group resource in the form of The Good Vibrations Orchestra, a set of extremely accessible tuned instruments, gongs, percussion and electronics which I use for much of my work. 

I generally work with people who don't consider themselves to be 'musicians' and encourage active, creative input from participants.
