The internationally-acclaimed trumpeter will embark on his first tour, "My Funny Valentine," in February.
Niall O'Sullivan has played with such acts as Amy Winehouse, Michael Búble and Tom Jones, but now he's taking to the stage as a solo act for his first Irish tour. The tour will kick off in Belfast on February 4, before coming to a close on Valentines Day at the Civic Theatre, Tallaght. To keep up with the romantic theme of the tour, Niall will be playing with "his own valentine," vocalist Shóna Henneberry. Other guest vocalists include Simon Morgan and Cormac Kenevey. According to Niall himself, “2016 was a fantastic year for me and I am very excited to start 2017 touring with "My Funny Valentine." This tour will allow people to be taken away by beautiful arrangements of timeless classics. The show will offer something different for Valentine's and get people in the mood for the the most romantic day of the year.”
The music of the tour will span genres, as Niall has been playing everything from jazz and classical to new pop favourites. His most notable cover was of Damien Rice's "The Blower's Daughter," which was performed at Sunday Miscellany Live at Christmas this past year.
