The Blizzards were one of Ireland’s biggest rock ‘n’ roll deals, but that did not stop their guitarist and singer Niall Breslin deciding in January 2010 that he needed a new challenge. “We had six amazing years together,” he reflects. “The gigs, the fans, the other guys in the band… it was all brilliant, but I’ve always found myself being embraced by all genre directions. Not only as a writer and a performer, but as a producer too; I’m fascinated by every part of the music-making process.” He has managed to combine both musical genres to glorious effect as can be heard on his debut solo single, ‘Can’t Stay Young (Forever)’.

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.
