Biog:

Paul Byrom has become a household name throughout Ireland since the release of his hit album, “Velvet” in the winter of 2005.  Recorded in the summer of the same year with the backing of a 54 piece orchestra, an orchestra size more akin with movie score recordings than album recording, “VELVET” reached No. 2 in the charts.

Dublin based Paul, known as Ireland’s Premier Young Tenor, has had a very busy schedule on both stage and screen since, highlights being consecutive sell out solo concerts in the infamous National Concert Hall in 2006 and 2007 together with appearances in the inaugural outing of the TV ratings hit series of “Celebrity Jigs & Reels” and his critically acclaimed TV acting debut also over the same period on RTE’s Fair City.

Music, however, is Paul’s first love.  Three words that epitomize Paul Byrom according to his peers? “What A Voice”. 

This tenor’s star commenced its rise long before 2005, however.

After being identified by his teachers as ‘a special vocal talent’, Paul Byrom began voice study and training at the age seven under the tutorship of the wonderful Dan McNulty and by the time he reached his early teens was singing professionally – he recorded his first album as a boy soprano when he was 14.  At this time he also began studying with the infamous Dr Veronica Dunne.

In the years that followed, Paul opened up his touring account performing across the USA and Asia on numerous occasions.

Paul is in high demand as a solo performer.  He has been honoured with the opportunity of fusing his other passion in life, sport, with his first passion, music, when invited to perform at a number of All-Ireland finals in Croke Park together with rugby and soccer games.  One of these highlights was singing at the last six nations game to be played in the oldest rugby stadium in the world, Lansdowne Road, before closing for its re-build… the Ireland Vs. Scotland game in March 2006 and just this July Paul performed “Barcelona” in the Hearts Vs Barcelona pre-season friendly in Scotland’s Murray Field.

Paul’s talent and personality have been complimented and embraced by his peers and many dignitaries alike including President Mary McAleese and The Emperor of Japan amongst others.  Ireland’s own Shay Healy, Phil Coulter and Bono are amongst those who have vocalized their compliments for this tenor’s vocal genius. 

Anyone that has met this outgoing Dublin guy and especially those who know Paul…will attest to the fact that Ireland’s Premier Young Tenor, is the epitome of balance of someone that is extremely diligent in the growth of his craft as a tenor while also knowing how to enjoy himself outside of his professional time – a great balance!

2008 will see Paul return to The National Concert Hall on 24th April for what is expected to be his only solo public Irish concert next year.  Tickets go on sale from The National Concert Hall on December 1st www.nch.ie or T. 4170000 (no booking fees for credit card purchases)

This exclusive solo public Irish performance in 2008 by Paul results in the fact that Ireland’s Premier Young Tenor is one of five solo leads and sole tenor in the internationally cemented production, Celtic Man.  Already highlighted as a 2008 calendar must see, Celtic Man, has been recorded and scheduled for broadcast by PBS Television in the USA in the Spring of 2008, with CD and DVD releases penciled for this time also both in Ireland and USA.  Celtic Man is scheduled to commence its world tour also in the USA in September 2008.  www.paulbyrom.com / www.paulbyrom.ie / www.myspace.com/byromofficial
