Bronagh Mullan is one of the new brigade of vocal chanteuses currently treading the boards of the Irish music scene. She has a unique vocal style straddling low to mid register, displaying an effortless mastery of the silken vibrato.
With looks to match, Bronagh has made many friends in the business in recent years as she demonstrates a fruition of her previous glowing potential.
In 1999 she made the big time by winning Ireland's version of Song For Europe, with a Eurovision Song Contest final in Jerusalem to follow. This started a campaign which would see her performing throughout Europe and the UK, culminating in a concert at The National Concert Hall in Dublin in which she fronted a 71-piece orchestra conducted and directed by Sir George Martin in a tribute to The Beatles. Joining her on stage that night were Brian Kennedy, Sean Keane, Paul Brady, among others.
Bronagh reached a crossroads in her career and turned down countless opportunities for projects which she felt betrayed her long term vision for herself. Instead, she chose to study her art at UUJ (University of Ulster, Jordanstown)where she completed a 2:1 Honours degree in music.
During this time she broadened her listening to encompass jazz and developed a love for all that brings with it. She learned a copious repertoire of standards from Ella Fitzgerald to Diane Krall, always maintaining her link with the commercial, but demonstrating her love for songwriting at the same time.
She aligned herself with local musicians from Belfast, performing regularly with Nicky Scott, John Wilson, Neill Everett, Linley Hamilton and others.
This gave her an opportunity to work at a locally high level while gaining the experience to now take her career to the next plain. Bronagh is preparing to record her debut album in the summer of 2006 in time for an onslaught of the Irish Jazz festivals.
The band that Bronagh works with is made up of several musicians that vary depending on the function, mainly saxaphone, guitar, double bass, keyboard and drums.
