Today I am joined on the podcast by Mr Billy Fitzgerald!

Formerly the lead singer with Dublin pop-rockers The Dead Flags, Billy has been plying his solo trade around Ireland for the past few years, patiently building an audience with his earworm songs and hilarious online videos. And now with the release of his debut album, Billy is poised for greater attention.

He released his debut album, 'A Grand Romantic Gesture', on February 20th which will serve as the primary focus of this episode. We'll be talking about the album's writing process, the instrumentations, mastering the album in Abbey Road and directing the extremely fun and creative music videos.

His songs relate touching tales of failed romance through upbeat melodies and ultra-catchy choruses, delivered with soaring falsetto vocals and a wry sense of lyrical humour. Billy describes his music as “songs about heartbreak that make you want to dance”.

Mr Billy Fitzgerald is playing Whelans tonight! It should be a fantastic show so make sure to grab a ticket.
