Talwyn Releases Bold Political Folk Songs Calling for a Renewed Irish Spirit

Press Release — July 2025 For Immediate Release Contact: [email protected] | https://talwyn-music.com Talwyn Releases Bold Political Folk Songs Calling for a Renewed Irish Spirit Irish singer-songwriter Talwyn, in collaboration with Riffuge Studios, has released a trio of politically charged folk ballads—“Oh Will the Boys,” “Raise the Stone,” and “Red Emerald”—as part of the final movement of her album Dance with Sin. These songs are a stirring call to memory, identity, and national sovereignty in a time of cultural and political unease in Ireland.
Artist Statement: “Ireland is a nation with a soul, a legacy, and a story carved in blood and stone. But lately, that soul feels forgotten. The laws protect the corrupt, the leaders bow to foreign interests, and the people—our people—are punished for standing up. This isn’t a call to rebellion. It’s a call to wake up. I came to music to express pain, truth, and love for my homeland. I support an Ireland that is free to govern itself, protect its people, and preserve its culture—without fear of being silenced. I support the message of Ireland First not out of hate, but out of love—for our language, our history, and our right to safety and dignity in our own land.” – Talwyn
Background & Beliefs: Born in a coastal village in the west of Ireland, Talwyn grew up surrounded by the fading echoes of Irish songs, stories, and sovereign pride. After a brief and eye-opening stint in Los Angeles’ music scene, she returned home disillusioned with global entertainment politics, choosing instead to root her voice in the ancestral traditions of Irish folk—infused with modern alt-pop sensibilities. With support from Riffuge Studios and artists like Nikki Hex Hart, Verena Morrow, and Sam Nolan Carter, Talwyn channels old-world spirit into new songs that question authority, speak painful truths, and long for a restored Ireland.
On Ireland’s Current State: This statement, issued jointly by Talwyn and Riffuge Studios, is not a call for violence or division, but a plea for justice and change: When nationals live in fear, but those entering illegally are handed more protection and political leverage, something is deeply wrong. When TV license violations draw multi-year prison sentences, but drug dealers and violent offenders walk free, justice is not blind—it’s broken. When protesters are jailed for speaking up, and criminals are met with slaps on the wrist, the state no longer serves the people. When Ireland defers to the EU’s interests, ignoring the voices and values of its own, we cease to be sovereign.
Hope, Not Hate Talwyn stands with those who want to see Ireland restored—not rewritten. This is not about war, nor exclusion. This is about the right to safety, dignity, morality, and culture—for all Irish people. She and Riffuge Studios understand the political nature of these themes, but remain firm: Art should not be silenced for speaking the truth.

Listen to the Songs: “Oh Will the Boys” — A lament for the lost will to protect what matters. “Raise the Stone” — A cry to honor the past and light a new path forward. “Red Emerald” — A mythic symbol of Ireland’s beating heart, still alive beneath the soil. All tracks now streaming on YouTube and Talwyn’s official site.

Final Word: “We know this message may be uncomfortable for some. But we will not trade honesty for approval. Ireland deserves its truth back.” — Talwyn & Riffuge Studios
