MUSIC FROM THE SOFA // CORK JAZZ FESTIVAL // A SHARED AND INTIMATE MUSIC SESSION
Uly
Uly’ is the moniker of multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Rafino Murphy.
Deeply influenced by pop, soul, jazz, nostalgic production value and doing-it-yourself - Murphy's work is highly personal, exploratory and largely revolves around identity and self all against a backdrop of comforting, immersive and captivating harmony.
Praised by the Irish music scene as a fresh new voice to watch, coupled with a high-profile placement on both RTÉ/BBC/Hulu’s Normal People and Conversations With Friends, an ever growing collaborative discography, Uly is definitely not to be missed.
