Description
Bronagh Gallagher has announced details for Gather Your Greatness, her third album of original material, and first in four years, which will be released via Salty Dog Records on May 27, 2016, distributed by AMS.
A strong personal statement and expressly honest, the record is the second of Bronagh's to be self-produced, determined to make the sound of the recording live up to the emotional heart of the lyric. Gather Your Greatness will be preceded by the release of the album track 'Crimes' as the first single with live dates to be confirmed shortly.
Rightly regarded as one of the great soul voices in Ireland, Bronagh Gallagher was raised in Derry and now lives in Dublin. At the age of 17, whilst still a St Mary's schoolgirl, she was cast as Bernie McGloughlin in Alan Parker's film about a Dublin soul band, The Commitments. Since then her music has alternated with film roles (Pulp Fiction, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Sherlock Holmes) plus theatre work (War Horse, TheStreet Of Crocodiles) and TV drama (Pramface, The Street, You Me And the Apocalypse).
However she maintains a special place for singing, writing and performing music and is joined on the new record by Marie McKee (singing guest vocals on the opening track 'Can You Hear Me') and Brian Eno singing BVs on the uplifting 'Radio.'
