Cork singer-songwriter Niall Connolly released his first album in 2001 and has been based in New York for 20 years. Connolly, originally from Glanmire, has recently released his 10th album, There’s So Much More To See.

“I’m less shocked by the 10th album part than I am by the 25 years part,” says Connolly reflecting on these milestones.
