DESCRIPTION:
Niall Connolly with The Big City Folk at The Scratcher Sessions, July 17th 2011.

Niall is also a member of Fairplay Collective, a New York based songwriter collective. With fellow members Brendan O' Shea, Michael Brunnock, Jenna Nicholls and Mark Dignam.

NIALL CONNOLLY is widely regarded among his peers as one of Ireland's most promising young songwriters. His debut album, 'Songs From a Corner' (2001), went to number one in the Hot Press indie charts and helped Connolly build a loyal fan base in Ireland as well as affording him the opportunity to tour Britain and mainland Europe. His follow up, 'As Tomorrow Creeps From the East' (2003), opened further doors and brought him to North America for three tours. Niall's music has already received airplay in Ireland, New York, Toronto and Sydney. 'As Tomorrow Creeps From the East' has also bizarrely recorded internet sales in as yet untoured territories including Japan and New Zealand.
Niall is back in New York having just completed a ten country European tour in support of his latest album, 'The Future Tense,' available for purchase on iTunes and CDBaby.com. During the tour, Niall performed on the Leftfield stage at Glastonbury 2008 and played five sold-out shows as part of The Voice & The Verse in this year's Prague Fringe Festival.
Along with performing, Niall hosts Wednesday Night Song Club every Wednesday night at Ceol, 191 Smith St., Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, from 8-11pm
