Bressie’s debut solo single ‘Can’t Stay Young (Forever )’ has become the radio hit of the summer, the DJs’ favourite all over the country. ‘Can’t Stay Young (Forever )’ is the first taster from his forthcoming debut album and finds Bressie sharing the workload with Jimbo Barry. Together they’ve allied themselves to Simon Fuller’s 19 Entertainment, whose managerial stable also includes such household names as Jordin Sparks, Adam Lambert, Carrie Underwood, and Kelly Clarkson. It was Fuller & Co that arranged for him to hook-up in Brighton with Gomez singer, guitar and keys man Tom Gray.
Bressie’s growing maturity as a songwriter is underlined by lyrics like, “In the sand I made wagers/Grabbed my chance and crossed that line/I’ve took risks and suffered failures/But 10 years later the stars align”, which reflect on everything that’s happened to him over the past decade of his life.
Something, which he hasn’t done much of these past couple of years, and can’t wait to get back to, is playing live. “I don’t know whether it’s a subconscious pining for home, but even though I put together my band in London most of them are Irish,” Bressie laughs. His first couple of live shows have left fans wanting more live shows from the former Blizzards frontman.
Bressie will be playing The Stables, Mullingar on Thursday September 29, tickets priced at €15. Support on the night will come from The Kanyu Tree and Cars Love Girls.
His new single ‘Good Intentions’ is out September 9.
