Best Bassist Award…<\/h2>\n

Since the day she switched from guitar to bass aged 17, Ellen O’Reilly has been one of the busiest bassists around. Combined with a powerful lead vocal, this has made her a go-to musician for live, recording and TV work alike.<\/p>\n

Hailing from Drogheda on Irelands east coast, Ellen had built up an impressive CV in her native country, appearing on Irish TV shows like Class Act and Podge and Rodge, playing with numerous Irish artists, and gaining extensive live performance experience.<\/p>\n

Having been initially self-taught, Ellen decided to take her playing to the next level and won the prestigious Ernieball\/Musicman Bass Scholarship to study at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in 2011. She then went on to win the \u201cBest Bassist\u201d award and leave with an Honours Degree in Popular Music Performance.

She was also gaining notoriety for not only her solid bass playing, but her powerful vocals and toured with artists such as Sarah Harding (Girls aloud), Dona Oxford and Erika among others.
