Who Is Eithne MacSweeney, the Singer-Songwriter from Cork, Ireland?
Eithne MacSweeny is a singer-songwriter who plays a short role in the Apple TV series Masters of the Air. But before we get into her role in the series, here's who she is in real life.
MacSweeny is an up-and-coming musician whose debut single "Bad Dream", was released just before her appearance on Masters of the Air.
According to an Instagram post, the song was initially recorded on the phone with her singing at the piano. However, she knew "There was something in that we knew we couldn't lose."
"Releasing my own music is something I've wanted to do for a VERY long time." MacSweeny wrote: "I always thought it would be extremely scary. But seriously, everyone has been so supportive it's been an entirely positive and meaningful experience."
Along with her music career, MacSweeny is also a Copywriter for The Content Lab, where her bio reads: "Music obsessed. When not writing marketing content, I spend my time co-writing songs in my bedroom with my Springer Spaniel Desmond."

Meet Ella Walsh in Masters of the Air Ep 6
Masters of the Air episode 6 introduces Ella Walsh singing a cover of Woody Guthrie's Tear The Fascists Down at the local pub in the middle of the ongoing war.
This was thanks to Subaltern Alessandra Westgate (played by Bel Powley), aka the woman who joins Captain Harry Crosby (Anthony Boyle) as his roommate in Oxford for the conference of the Allied nations.
As Crosby represents the 100th Bomb Group in Oxford, he hits it off with Westgate the more time they spend together.
They share a couple of laughs and sad stories by the fire and even grow close enough for Crosby to open up about his guilt behind his best friend Bubbles' death.
Eventually, they take the load off their shoulders by visiting a nearby pub and dancing to Ella Walsh's song, which gives thanks to the Soviets, the Chinese vets, and the battling British to "take the fascists down."
Meanwhile, episodes 1-6 of Masters of the Air are streaming on Apple TV+.
