Award-winning composer, producer and performer Phil Coulter is the reigning king of contemporary Celtic music, becoming the best-selling Irish artist of his generation. Born in Derry, Northern Ireland in 1942, Coulter began his career while studying music at Belfast's Queens University. Coulter enjoyed his greatest success as a writer after teaming up with collaborator Bill Martin; together they authored some of the biggest pop hits of the period.

Despite his pop success, he remains drawn to the Irish folk of his youth, working with acts including the Dubliners, Planxty and the Furey Brothers while concurrently writing a series of hits for the Bay City Rollers. After his partnership with Martin ended during the late ’70s, Coulter turned increasingly to performing, emerging as the country's best-selling artist.

Andy Cooney, direct from his sold-out appearances at Carnegie Hall, has always been a favorite among young and old everywhere. His talent and versatility provide the ability to deliver a song directly to the hearts of his audience. Christened “Irish America’s Favorite Son” by The New York Times, Andy is surely one of the greatest singing sensations on Irish Music scene today and is also one of “The New York Tenors.” Andy has recorded 18 albums to date, including his latest release, “Bright Brand New Day” with Phil Coulter and his Orchestra. Andy Cooney is also known for his Cruise of Irish Stars that annually draws over 1,000 Irish and Irish Americans on a Caribbean Cruise enriched with the finest Irish entertainment, including the great Ronan Tynan.
