New Single "Around Here".

Award winning Tyrone based country singer Aidy Quinn has once again released another excellent promotional single on Monday January 21st entitled "Around Here". It's an uptempo song from the pen of Richard Fagan & Jeff Moore that the great George Jones recorded earlier in the New Millennium.

Being a big Jones fan Aidy has been performing this song as part of his live programme and has been inundated with requests from fans & friends to release it on record. This prompted him to take the song to his record producer Stephen Smyth at his Cuan Music Studios and they both immediately got to work, resulting in this latest musical offering. It is a track from his forthcoming album that is due to be released in the near future. Aidy has just had brilliant success with his first Christmas single entitled 'Santa And The Kids', a number that was a 'turntable hit' on national and local radio.

Aidy Quinn has again added to his collection of Awards when on Thursday November 1st in The Glencarn Hotel, Castleblayney he had the honour of receiving an award as Best Country Band 2007. It was presented as part of the prestigious 20th Annual Glencarn Awards in the presence of 1,500 capacity audience. As he graciously accepted the award he thanked everyone involved, commenting "nights like this is one of the reasons people like me enthusiastically follow our dream".

Now having toured the length and breadth of The UK and Ireland where he appeared at some of the major festivals, theatres and dance venues, the future looks set to be very exciting for Aidy Quinn and his six piece Band. His management team at Purple Heather Promotions has his new album scheduled for release in a few months along with appearances at many major festivals worldwide and return shows to most venues he has had the honour of appearing at since going on the road with his country band. He will be calling to radio stations to personally thank presenters for playing his music and to say Hi to the listeners and also thank them sincerely for requesting it. Aidy looks forward to your comments and any suggestions for his future recordings.

In the words of his latest single Aidy is going to be "Around Here" for many years entertaining his fans and friends and enjoying their company.

Santa And The Kids/Pretty Paper from Aidy Quinn.

'Santa And The Kids/Pretty Paper' From Aidy Quinn.

Aidy Quinn first Christmas release is a two track promotional single entitled Santa And The Kids/Pretty Paper.

Both songs are well known having been recorded by 'heros of Aidy' in country music. Santa And The Kids is an up-tempo number made famous by many legends including Charley Pride whilst Pretty Paper is a beautiful slow Christmas standard made famous by Willie Nelson among others.

Tyrone based Aidy has always been a big fan of Charley Pride and of the songs he sings and had a hankering from an early age to record 'Santa', a song that he heard his mum (Philomena Begley) sing at home every Christmas.

Recently when he was in studio recording his forthcoming album Aidy and the guys had a couple of hours to spare and with the help of his keyboard player Ryan Turner (the owner of the studio) took the opportunity to put this song on tape. In contrast he also recorded Pretty Paper. The result was outstanding as everyone suggested he should release a Christmas single.

At this point Aidy's management pulled out all the stops to have this two track single rush released and now everyone is very pleased.

Presently Aidy Quinn and his six piece Band have received many awards and are now one of the busiest bands on the circuit. He will have another single released in January in preparation for his forthcoming album due in March.

Award winning Aidy Quinn and his six piece Band received many compliments from some of the biggest stars in Ireland today, when he appeared at a star studded concert in The Carrick Court Hotel, Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan on Monday October 1st in the presence of 2,000 people.

Claire Kerley and Northern Sound Radio invited Aidy to appear at the stations first major show and his Band had the honour of backing the many artists who appeared on the night. These artists included Daniel O'Donnell, Big Tom, Philomena Begley, Margo, Mike Denver, John Glenn, TR Dallas and many more. The capacity audience and artists all had great words of praise for Aidy's Band who ably backed them in at least four numbers each. In addition Aidy had the privilege of performing the popular Johnny Cash/June Carter duet 'Jackson' with his mum Philomena Begley.

During the evening Daniel O'Donnell who was a surprise guest at this unique gathering made a special presentation to Big Tom.

Aidy and his Band had just returned that morning from a very successful 11 day Scottish tour that included Shetland and Orkney Isles and The Highland Region. This area included a very successful first visit to the prestigious The Northern Nashville CM Club, Thurso, Caithness that was sold out. He also took time out to visit some local radio stations and personally thank the presenters for playing his music and also the listeners for requesting it. He looks forward to fulfilling the many invitations to return again when time permits.

Aidy is presently busy in the recording studio putting together his forthcoming album due out very soon. This album will have a good mixture of music including including some songs that his fans have suggested as he takes a lot of time speaking with them and listening to their views.
A promotional single taken from this recording session will be released in a few weeks.

Welsh fans and friends will have a unique opportunity to see and hear Aidy Quinn live for the first time when he appears at South Wales Music Festival, Trecco Bay Holiday Park, Porthcawl, Cardiff on Sunday November 18th in the company of Susan McCann, The Furey Brothers and Dave Arthur and many more.

Aidy Quinn Receives Another Award.

2007-07-01T01:26:00.000-07:00

Tyrone singer Aidy Quinn continues to make inroads in the world of country music as he collects awards throughout Ireland and UK.

Recently Aidy received Single of the Year Award for his latest single Waltzing Margarita Round The Room. This award was presented on behalf of the listeners to Tipperary Mid West Radio at their star studded Annual Awards Dinner in The Templemore Arms Hotel, Co. Tipperary. Aidy graciously accepted his special presentation witnessed by many of Ireland's leading names in the world of country music along with some of his friends and fans who had travelled long distances to be part of this exciting evening.

This now adds to a growing list of awards for one of Irelands bright young talents in country music.

Last month Aidy performed in Boston, USA following an invitation by a couple on the occasion of their wedding. This invitation came as a result of the couple hearing him during an earlier trip to Europe. Aidy was so well received in Boston that he fitted in another appearance the following evening at The Fiddler where a promoter attending issued Aidy's management team with an open invitation to tour over there when time permits.
Recently Aidy also had a very unique experience when he made a special appearance to sing at the final evening of Fr. Brian D'Arcy's well known Novena of Hope at The Graan, Enniskillen. He led the 2,000 strong crowd with some of his now well known renditions along with accompanying other well known artists in some gospel songs. Another very successful appearance in August was Clonmany, Co. Donegal where he entertained 5,500 people during their 40th Annual Festival. This festival is now one of the most successful Band Festivals in Ireland.

Aidy's Booking Agent Purple Heather Promotions have a very busy schedule planned that includes festivals and major dance and theatre venues at home in Ireland and also London, Manchester and Hunstanton, Norfolk in The UK, following with a major Scottish Tour from September 21st through to September 30th. Following in the footsteps of his mum 'International Queen of Country Music' Philomena Begley, Aidy will appear in Kirkwall and Isle of Westray in The Orkneys and several concerts and dances in Shetland Isles along with three shows in the Northern Scottish region.

The future looks bright for this new young Tyrone talent and his six piece Band as he is also invited to perform as part of some future shows when his mum Philomena Begley and Ray Lynam will return to sing together after twenty years.

Lough Sheelin Side.

The latest promotional single entitled Lough Sheelin Side from Tyrone based singer

Lough Sheelin Side is a beautiful Irish ballad that is sure to display another angle to the voice of this bright young talent. It's again recorded at Cuan Music Studios under the supervision of owner/producer Stephen Smyth.

Aidy is presently doing a promotional tour of national and local radio stations, together with newspapers and magazine interviews.

Already building a loyal following with fans of country music, the appreciation of

Aidy Quinn's music is not restricted by music or audience barriers. Playing corporate and smaller local venues has given Aidy an insight into the grassroots level of the entertainment scene. It was in a local venue in Ardboe, Co. Tyrone that Aidy first fronted his own band, the same venue that his mum Philomena Begley made her first professional appearance all of 45 years ago.

Now with his recording career carefully planned and in place his booking agency at Purple Heather Promotions have also launched a very successful touring schedule with his six piece Band that will include The USA, England, Scotland and coast to coast in Ireland. During this coming year Aidy is invited to many festivals and venues from Shetland Isles in North Scotland to Norfolk and London in the south of England, along with a trip to New York and many festival appearances throughout Ireland.

All this, along with preparing his forthcoming album will keep Aidy extremely busy for the forseeable future and provide a backdrop for Aidy Quinn and his Band to grace the neon lights of the music scene near and far.
