Former Thrills man Ben Carrigan returns to the fray on September 23 with The Greatest Narrators, his debut solo album.

“The Greatest Narrators celebrates a diverse collection of richly arranged pop songs and filmic scores that reflect my wide variety of musical tastes and styles,” he reflects. “I always loved classical music, jazz and soundtracks and only later came to pop music. For me, I guess this album is a way of bringing all my favourite elements together.”

You can try before you buy by downloading the lead single, ‘You Knew It All Along’, for free from www.bencarrigan.com/widget.htm. There’s also an official launch party on September 28 in Dublin’s Sugar Club, tickets for which are €12.50.
