Neil Byrne

Neil Byrne released “Sensitive Souls” in September 2010 in North American. With a growing fanbase of 40,000+ friends on MySpace, 40,000+ fans on Reverbnation and very active Youtube, Twitter and Facebook pages, the EP entered the iTunes US Top 100 Chart in Pop.

During 2010, Neil was part of a 58 date arena tour of North American with “Celtic Thunder” as a lead vocalist and band member along with making many US TV appearances including CBS and QVC. In addition, Neil’s performances on “Celtic Thunder - The Show” and “Celtic Thunder - It’s Entertainment” have been broadcast on numerous occasions on the American Public Broadcast Services’ 354 TV stations. Neil also features on Celtic Thunder’s Billboard World Music #1 Albums of 2008 and 2009.

A Wicklow native, Neil has been performing for many years in various bands and groups all across Ireland. Some of the highlights have been to perform at O2 in the Phoenix Park with the group Oden, Irish Top 30 Chart single “Inspector Rita” with Hipple Street and numerous performances in Phil Coulter’s band.

“Wicklow’s Neil Byrne’s debut solo EP Sensitive Souls shows him as a classy singer of soulful pop. ‘Sadie Jones and I’ has a Philly soul vibe, classy production and a smooth vocal performance on a tasty soul-pop number. ‘Raoul and Her Ladyship’ features impeccable layered vocals, lavish strings and Byrne’s voice doing all the right things. ‘Truador’ has a bossa-lite beat, delicate acoustic guitar and croonsome backing vocals. Byrne’s work is admirably done and clearly aimed at a quality pop market”
