Former frontman of The Blizzards and successful solo-singer 'Bressie' (Niall Bresslin) is set to return to stages across the country later this year, playing in Kilkenny City this Wednesday (October 29). The local concert is part of an eight-show tour around Ireland as well as the release of a new album which is available now. Recorded in just five days, the pieces were performed on two pianos that had to be played simultaneously along with a string quartet to give it a distinct sound in a stylistic departure from the former Blizzards frontman’s previous work.
