AFTER HER FULL NATIONAL TOUR IN NOVEMBER- NELL BRYDEN HIT THE IRISH TOP 40 CHARTS IN AT NO.38!! 

“Nell Bryden’s unique career stemmed from an original 1952 Milton Avery painting that she found in her (impressionist painter) Father’s attic. Which she went on to auction off in the throes of debt & despair, which sold for $300,000!! Thus funding her musical career. A round trip across the world playing over 350+ shows then landed her by Blackhawk helicopter to IRAQ & KUWAIT. Where she entertained the troops and boosted morale before her safe return to the Uk’s BBC Breakfast show couch (on BBC ONE TV), with other special guests such as Enrique Iglesias, GAN WOK and Daniel Craig. Prior to that, Nell Bryden recorded with World Class producer David Kershenbaum (Tori Amos, Tracy Chapman, Joan Baez) after she received a phone call from him asking her to come a record with him, saying “I haven’t felt this strongly about someone’s voice since hearing Tracy [Chapman] for the first time.” Nell took this great opportunity and now has 5 new tracks set to be added to the Stunning album “Second Time Around” (to be released in early 2009). With features in CHOICE magazine, Social & Personal Magazine, UNCUT, Q, WORD Magazine, TV slots on BBC’s Breakfast Show, Channel 6, Buzz TV, & URMUZIC -Nell Bryden is definitely building a name for herself. With a successful Radio promo tour around Ireland (BBC radio Ulster, Today FM, Clare FM, DCFM, KLCRFM, Dublin’s 98FM & Galway Bay FM), followed by a very successful tour in early November in Ireland landing her in the Irish Charts and the Single of the week on Today FM.

Nell Bryden has shared the stage with International acts like KT Tunstall & The Counting Crows, performed on the number one radio show RTE Radio 1 in Ireland with Pat Kenny and Today FM’s Ian Dempsey and has received glowing reviews from BBC Radio Presenters in the UK.  Her residency gigs at Whelan’s (Dublin) in August 2008 ENDED WITH STANDING OVATIONS BOTH NIGHTS IN A ROW!!! That’s how impressed they were! Q Magazine, UNCUT and WORD Magazine has given this lady much adoration and it’s no wonder. It’s quite clear that Nell Bryden will travel to all corners of the world to entertain. It’s what she was born to do after all… From the age of 4 she took up the piano and by the age of 9 she was a cellist. With a classical singer for a Mother and an impressionist painter for a Father- “Quite a unique offspring was bound to form”.  Her album, “Second Time Around” has been climbing the major industry trade charts for the Americana and AAA formats. “Second Time Around” is distributed by iTunes & CD Baby (and downloadmusic.ie) and is being licensed by MTV for their programming. “Second time around” is the leading single IS OUT NOV 25TH OFFICIALLY VIA ITUNES AND OTHER DIGITAL PLATFORMS- for public consumption. Without further ado, we bring you New York City’s most exciting export Nell Bryden. …

“THE FEEL GOOD ALBUM OF AUTUMN”- DAILY STAR

Lucky caller No.9 is out form the 24th Oct in all good record stores

Already the much celebrated singles ‘Not On Your Side’ and ‘Houndstooth Shirt’ from the “FEEL GOOD ALBUM of THE AUTUMN” (Daily Star) have been receiving multiple plays on Today FM, Spin FM, WLRFM, BEAT FM, BBC Radio Ulster, Clare FM, Live 95FM, Corks 96fm and RED FM. Appearing on this year’s IMRO Tour compilation and gaining much fan base from Local and Regional press signifies a very bright future for this Rising Irish Band. Ian Whitty And The Exchange were also amongst the first acts to be selected by Alison Curtis of Today FM in her Ireland Rocks section where she gives the thumbs up to the cream of up and coming Irish Acts. And they went on to record a live version of the Bruce Springsteen classic ‘Atlantic City’ for Alison Curtis’ ‘The Last Splash’ and also won the Hotpress/Tisch video competition for “Not on your side“. (www.hotpress.com)

‘The Lucky Caller No.9’ is the long awaited first full length studio album from Ian Whitty And The Exchange. The record was produced by top Irish producer Ken McHugh (Dave Kitt, Autamata) and mastered by Dave Collins in Los Angeles (Bruce Springsteen, Janes Addiction). It was recorded by Ian Whitty And The Exchange in 2007 between the legendary Connelly’s of leap in West Cork and Adda/My Sanctuary studio’s in the hills of Wicklow.

Since Ian’s emergence, he has been a highly active figure in the thriving Cork scene as well as being invited to perform with many of the luminaries of the Irish scene including Declan O Rourke, Bell X1, Josh Ritter, Damien Rice, The Frames and Roderigo y Gabriella. Ian is a songwriter who firmly believes in craft and in always placing substance over style. He is most often praised for his distinctive vocal delivery and lyricism that manages to be urgent, humorous and razor sharp without ever sacrificing the storytelling that underpins his songs. We give you a very promising act to feast your ears upon in Ian Whitty & the Exchange.
