George Murphy

about

At just 18 years of age, George Murphy has had quite a year. He first came to the nation's attention via his show stealing performance on "You're A Star" where he broke so many talent show rules by just being himself. In a world of boyband wannabe's and kareoke diva's he stood out, he was simply more Billy Elliot than Billie Barry, and the public loved him for it. But doing well on a TV talent show is one thing, turning that platform into a career is something else entirely. It's always hard to deliver on the hype that TV can't resist throwing at you. So what george did next was going to be crucial. On the night he was finally voted off, after having to sing a Eurovision song, George got into his car and drove to Carlow to do a gig. It's a move that kinda sums him up, when the chips are down he just drags himself up. No point in hanging around a dressing room in RTE feeling sorry for yourself. No, much better to get back in the saddle and do a gig, and what a gig it was. The Carlow crowd gave George a real lift and helped him to realise he had an audience who weren't too bothered if he didn't win the TV series, an audience who wanted to hear George Murphy do what he does best, sing great songs. Next he had to sign a record deal and record an album. Sony Ireland really seemed to get what he was all about and so shortly after signing on the dotted line with them, he headed up to Amberville Studios in Antrim to record his debut album with Phil Coulter. From the very first mom
