PRESENTED BY TOM MILLETT
Nigel Connell was born into a musical family. He was the youngest of five and once he could walk, it meant he could talk and eventually sing, so into the family band he went and it was here where his skills as a Drummer and Singer developed.

Nigel is well known for his stunning harmony vocals on albums such as Liam Lawton's Triple Platinum EMI Album Another World and Liams second album TIME. Nigel also toured Ireland, the UK & The US as a special guest on Liam's sell out shows. Nigel recorded "Silence and the Sorrow" on Liam's DVD Live in Kilkenny with Acts like Brian Kennedy, Moya Brennan, Eimer Quinn and The Celtic Tenors. Nigel has performed in world renowned venues such as New York's Carnegie Hall and Chicago's Old St. Patrick's Church.

Resting off the road for a month here and there gave Nigel the time to work on his own Debut Album, where he recruited in the Multi Platinum Producer Mark Cahill, whom he wrote his album with.

Being a highly sought after top session musician, Nigel recently joined World Class Irish Country Folk Singer Daniel O Donnells band as his Drummer and Backing vocalist. Where he will be touring North America, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania this year, but will also be stopping off in Ireland to perform his own selection of shows and launching his own Stunning Debut Album NOTHING LEFT to SAY.

The album is embellished by an evident Romantic & Classical feel to it throughout, yet wholly embraces Nigels vocal capability and sentiment as a performer, with Orchestral performances by The Irish Session Orchestra and the Mullingar Cathedral Choir. Epic in some proportions - it will certainly ease you in by its lush string arrangements and fine production. Each track has a different edge, with preludes that introduce you to a world of music that has no boundaries.
