Country Club to play host to an award-winning Country singer

The Country Club at the Hotel Kilmore will play host to an award-winning Country singer this Saturday.
Derry man John McNicholl has been smitten by country since his teenage years, listening to great artists from both America and Ireland. Singers and songwriters for whom John has the greatest respect, include country stars such as Vince Gill, Dolly Parton, George Jones, Keith Urban and Leanne Womack.
John took a very different path a few years ago deciding he would become a chef. He achieved a promising status in this new career but his hunger to get on the road and perform some of his most loved songs was too great to shy away from.
With the support of his established artist manager Bob Condon, he set about recording his first album, ‘Something Old, Something New’ and travelled around the country to do his first live performances since his schooldays.
In 2001 John was the proud recipient of the Best Newcomer Award from Country Music UK. Among other great highlights of John’s singing career to date include sharing a stage with Daniel O’Donnell and Sir Cliff Richard at the Kincasslagh Festival.
Successive albums ensured that John is now a household name of the Irish country scene. His latest ‘Someone Like You’ features duets with Daniel O’Donnell, Margo and Louise Morrissey, which tells you something of his impressive standing on the music circuit.
To see why John justifies such standing, catch him at the Kilmore this Saturday.
