Emeli Sande Announces Support Act For Live At The Marquee

Emeli Sande has announced her support act for her Live At The Marquee gig.

It was announced today that Cork born singer songwriter Stephanie Rainey will support Emeli Sandé on her Live at the Marquee Cork debut performance on 10th July. 

Rising star Stephanie Rainey has revealed her latest single ‘Nothing Of You Left To Love’ a song about unconditional true love and friendship, which is available to stream and download now on Spotify. With crystal-clear, sharp vocals and a catchy chorus, the track, co-written with the Grammy winning Amy Wadge of Ed Sheeran’s ‘Thinking Out Loud’ success, is a distinctly upbeat love song for those she holds close to her heart.

The new single follows previous tracks – the heart-rending ‘Please Don’t Go’ and impelling ‘100 Like Me’.

Stephanie Rainey created a music industry stampede of epidemic proportions with just one heart-stopping song – ‘Please Don’t Go’.

Within 24 hours of the song being uploaded onto Facebook, Stephanie – who had spent a decade trying to break into the music business - had more than a million hits (it quickly rose to five million views across both Facebook and YouTube), offers pouring in from US and UK record companies and world-wide media attention. For the Cork-born singer it was a bitter sweet moment of triumph. The song was not just her last roll of the dice as an artist but it was sparked by the devastating loss of her one year old nephew, Fionn, from meningitis.

Stephanie Rainey describes herself as “pure old school.” From growing up with a father who played her Bob Dylan and Neil Young, to falling in love with The Beatles and country music to spending her teens and early twenties performing in pubs, clubs and earning a crust in call centres and as a waitress.

“The dream to make the best, most wicked music I can possibly make is actually happening for me,” she says. “I thought my dream was over and really it was only just beginning and I can’t wait.”
