Ava Mckechnie

Up and coming Wicklow songwriter Ava McKechnie kicks off 2026 with the announcements of a new hometown headline show and the release of “Daydreaming”, the title track from her most recent EP.

Having recently returned to Ireland following 3 years in Brighton, 22 year old Ava McKechnie launched into 2026 with stunning new single “Daydreaming”. With sold out headline shows in Dublin and Brighton, performances on national TV and support slots with The Feeling and legendary Irish rockers Aslan under her belt, McKechnie sold out her most recent hometown headline show at The Whale Theatre in Greystones.
