Mick Blake

Mick Blake is a singer/songwriter based in County Leitrim. His songs have a strong message, covering topics such as social injustice, inequality and war. 

His song “Oblivious” was covered by Christy Moore, and appears on Moore’s latest album, “Lily”. Mick performed alongside Christy Moore, Declan Sinnott and Damien Dempsey at concerts in Vicar Street and at the highly-publicised Centenary Celebration Concert in Dublin in 2016, he has also received plaudits from music legends such as Paul Brady and Steve Wall.

One critic declared “If the purpose of art is to hold a mirror to society then this Letterkenny-born, Leitrim based singer is in my opinion, the most important artist recording in Ireland today.  His songs are beautiful things in and of themselves. For many, however, it’s the lyrics and the subject matter he tackles that raises Micks work to another level."

Mick co-wrote "Cumann na Mná" with Christy Moore which appears on Christy's latest album "A Terrible Beauty".
