John Gaughan- “A little man, with a little guitar, trying to make it big”
A Galway musician, John Gaughan was a semi finalist of acclaimed music talent T.V show, “The Voice Of Ireland”. He has gained popularity from his television debut, sparking interest from celebrities such as Bressie and Sharon Corr touring with Sharon across the UK and Ireland.
He released his debut EP which reached number 8 in the Irish charts and was then invited to co-write and perform with Royseven lead singer Paul Walsh and friend Keenan Copas on Bressie’s “Cycle Against Suicide” Album which reached number one. Now with his new band of college mates, John is ready to make waves with his new sound. We’re really looking forward to hearing John’s music with his recently formed back line!
Here’s a video of John performing his song ‘Woman of the Water’ not too long ago in the Iveagh Gardens
