Welcome to the We've Only Just Begun Directory.
This Directory is the most comprehensive and up-to-date site of all musicians, bands, DJs and music industry professionals who are women or gender minorities. Our Directory includes those who are based in Ireland (including the North of Ireland) or are Irish and based abroad.
The Directory was built to promote artists and give bookers, promoters, agents, radio programmers, labels and managers a direct contact with profiled artists for professional opportunities. Since its launch, we’re delighted that artists themselves have used the Directory to reach out and collaborate with other musicians.
We’ve Only Just Begun Festival would have had its third edition in 2020. Since our festival could not go ahead due to Covid-19, we wanted to work on an alternative project with the same objective as our annual festival - to promote women and gender minorities in the music industry in Ireland.
The Directory was compiled by Shauna Watson with thanks to Jodie Delany, Stephen D’arcy, Sally Ó Dúnlaing, Lauren Geary, Grace McManus, Lauren Rusowicz, Rubyworks Records, Fair Plé, Ciara O’Leary Fitzpatrick, Vick Bain, Karl Healy, Catherine Royle, Ciaran O’Brien, Theodora Byrne and Mary Watson.
