Roisin McCarney, a Scottish singer who gained recognition for her performance on The Voice and is currently battling cancer for the third time, is eagerly anticipating headlining a venue in Glasgow as her Christmas gift this year.
Roisin’s musical journey began at a young age when she would carry around a suitcase full of CDs, singing and dancing while dreaming of karaoke machines. Now, at the age of 28, she has released several singles, performed at iconic venues like King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, and is preparing to take the stage at the Classic Grand next week.
Expressing her excitement for the upcoming show, Roisin described playing at the Classic Grand as her ultimate Christmas present. She is fully immersed in preparing for the performance, constantly thinking about her routines and lyrics, unable to contain her excitement.
Despite facing challenges with her health, Roisin remains positive and determined to continue pursuing her passion for music. Diagnosed with stage three skin cancer in 2020, she was later cleared in 2022 before the cancer resurfaced this year. However, she is currently undergoing treatment and finding solace in music, using songwriting as a form of therapy to express her emotions.
Roisin’s upcoming show promises to be a night filled with fun, laughter, and music. She plans to perform songs from her time on The Voice and offer a sneak peek of new music to be released next year. Audience participation is key, as Roisin encourages everyone to sing along and join her on stage for an interactive experience.
As she reflects on the challenges of the past year, Roisin acknowledges the uphill battle she has faced, with her health being a significant obstacle. Despite the setbacks, she remains grateful for the support of her fans, who have been a source of motivation and inspiration during difficult times.
Roisin’s resilience and determination to share her music with others highlight her passion for performing and connecting with her audience. Her upcoming show at the Classic Grand on December 6 is a testament to her strength and unwavering spirit.
