Since winning the Country Music UK Award for Best Newcomer in 2001, John has gone on to release four Gold albums, one platinum album and a multi-platinum DVD in his home country of Ireland. His success has been recognized by the Irish & UK music industry where he has received numerous awards including the Hit Country TV Award in 2011 for Album of the Year for "Someone Like You". Other highlights of his rapidly ascending career include sharing a stage with his music heroes, Daniel O'Donnell & Sir Cliff Richard and supporting Sir Elton John in concert.
His new album "It's Your Love" is his best yet and is sure to delight his long-term fans but also open up a whole new group of music lovers to his brand of Celtic/Country music. From the first single "It's Your Love" (a cover of the Tim McGraw/Faith Hill smash hit), to "Even Cowgirls Get The Blues" (written by Rodney Crowell and famously recorded by Emmylou Harris), to the touching second single "Walk Down The Aisle With Me" –it is clear that John McNicholl is a super-star in the making.
