Ana Palindrome

Ana Palindrome is a band made up of Irish musicians Niamh Dalton (vocals, fiddle), Ruairi de Búrca
(synths, programming) and Sara Leslie (bass, vocals). The project follows a fictionalised character, Ana
Palindrome, developing a personality and aesthetic that propels the vision for their songwriting & music
making. “We’re only just getting to know Ana – she’s leading the ship, it’s pretty fun”, explains songwriter Niamh Dalton. “Ana’s generally a bit
shook and rattled by the world but has enough fire in the belly to turn the drama into soft bops and
dreamy ballads”.
Ana Palindrome kicked off their gigging output supporting Anna Mieka in St. Lukes Cathedral in November
2022. Since then, they’ve played numerous slots at All Together Now, Another Love Story, A Sliver of Light,
In the Meadows, Culture Night, Quarter Block Party and Féile na Gréine, and playing alongside and
supporting acts such as Lankum, ØXN, Mount Eerie, The Altered Hours, John Francis Flynn, Black Country
New Road and more. They received the Cork Music Award at IndieCork film festival 2023.
