'Generation Game' is an album of 12 original songs written and recorded by Niall Boyle. Niall is a school teacher from Drogheda, Co.Louth. Showing early talent as a child he wrote his first song at 10 years old. Early musical influences include David Bowie, Peter Gabriel and Bruce Springsteen. He went on to study music and piano and was awarded a Music Degree from N.U.I. Maynooth and a Higher Diploma in Music Education from the Irish World Music Centre in Limerick University. Song writing and singing is his greatest love and upon leaving the University of Limerick he went on to record his first album 'Stop,Look,Listen'. This album consisted of 10 fine original tracks and a moving cover of the Williams Brother's 'Can't Cry Hard Enough'. It also featured some fine musicians such as Richie Buckley on sax and Gerry O'Connor on fiddle. His second self-financed album comes after a seven year gap. 'Generation Game' is truly a fine album of 10 skilfully crafted songs with great melodies and catchy choruses. Recorded and produced with Dave McCune and mastered by Grammy Award winner Bob Kratz in the U.S.A. The lyrics are both heartfelt and topical and his fine voice is mature and distinctive. There are also two additional tracks taken from 'Stop,Look,and Listen'. |
