Tonight on the Hot Press Y&E Series, we're thrilled to present NÍV – going live on the Hot Press Instagram at 7.30pm...

Drawing influence from Irish folk music, as well as the legendary likes of Damien Rice, The Cranberries and Joni Mitchell, NÍV has rapidly become one of the country's most hotly tipped talents. The Kildare singer-songwriter sold-out her first Single Launch at The Workman's Club in Dublin for 'Silly Voices' last year, while her next single, 'Moonlight', clocked  up nearly 18,000 streams on Spotify alone. Earlier this year, she returned with the poignant folk song 'Home'.

The Hot Press Y&E Series is supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. Watch NÍV performing live tonight on the Hot Press Instagram (@hotpressmagazine) at 7.30pm.

Up next on the Y&E Series:

Wednesday, August 24: LOST BOYS

Embracing the aesthetics of nostalgia and youth, Lost Boys are fast becoming one of the most promising indie bands in the country. The Limerick four-piece draw influence from the likes of Glass Animals, The Academic and All Tvvins, while also carving out a path that's entirely their own. 'Sadie', one of their standout tracks from their Honey Mustard EP, released earlier this year, has clocked up over 44,000 streams on Spotify alone. Earlier this summer, Lost Boys returned with their latest single 'We Don't Need To Talk'.
