"...nothing less than stunning..." ‒ Hot Press
Nigel Mooney has long been regarded as Ireland's leading blues
singer/guitarist. His sensitive tenor voice, soulful jazz guitar stylings and preference for an acoustic-sounding, jazz approach to the
blues have made him a unique and popular artist. Mooney’s Gripewater
Blues Band was a significant group on the Irish blues scene of the
eighties, but the Mooney of today was first documented on debut first
album
All My Love's In Vain
(Rubyworks). It became the island's
biggest selling jazz album of 2005, with major airplay from champions
such as RTE's Ryan Tubridy, and chart placements for the single
'Beautiful Day'.
The Bohemian Mooney,
his much-awaited second album, sees him in both small group and big band
settings, with VIP appearances by international music icons Georgie Fame and Louis Stewart. Debuting at
number 1 on iTunes following an RTE album of the week placement on Radio
1 and a TV appearance on RTE's The Late Late Show, it features
his working group of Johnny Taylor (piano), Dan Bodwell (bass) and
Dominic Mullan (drums), with Richie Buckley (Van Morrison), Linley
Hamilton (Paul Brady) and Michael Buckley (Glen Hansard) among the horn
section.
