Natalya O’Flaherty.

An established poet and performer from Dublin, Natalya O’Flaherty’s unique brand of rhythm, accent and expression blends with her varied and far reaching content. From all encompassing social commentary and condemnation, to searching self assessment, her work resonates across genre and medium. Natalya treads the fine line between classic and contemporary, and performs to audiences of huge scope and reach. From her beginnings at city-centre open mics to a rich career comprising of multiple acclaimed appearances on The Late Late Show; a multi-media headline show “More Than Words” as part of Music Town; numerous festival appearances ranging from Electric Picnic to Other Voices; delivering an aching rendition of Sinead O’Connors ‘Three Babies’ for An Post’s Glastonbury special; facilitating workshops and programmes in poetry for young people across the country, and a range of international performances including the Cyprus National Poetry Slam. Major commissions have included pieces for RTE’s A Woman’s World and Shine A Light projects, the Ombudsman for Children, Body & Soul, Proctor & Gamble, Accenture, Laing O’Rourke and Irish Tatler. She will return with new work and a new world view in 2024.
