    Someone Like You, John Mcnicholl

    Singer John McNicholl was born and raised in a small village called Foreglen in Derry in the north of Ireland. He is one of 15 children born to Colm and Mary. John’s first taste of stage performance...

    In his teenage years John worked hard in school and grew up listening to great country artists from both America and Ireland. Singers and songwriters for whom John has the greatest respect include country stars such as Vince Gill, Dolly Parton, George Jones, Keith Urban & Leanne Womack. From a young age John would go to see all the big country stars in the Castle Ballroom in Dungiven near his home town.
    John took a very different path a few years ago deciding he would become a chef. He achieved a promising status in this new career but his hunger to get on the road and perform some of his most loved songs was too great to shy away from. A little over three years ago John gave up his love of cooking to pursue his passion for music. With the support of his established artist manager Bob Condon, John set about recording his first album (“Something Old Something New”) and travelling around the country to do his first live performances since his schooldays. John’s welcoming stage presence and natural vocal technique began to impress audiences that grew in size and enthusiasm rapidly.
    In 2001 John was the proud recipient of the Best Newcomer Award from Country Music UK. Among other great highlights of John’s singing career to date include sharing a stage with Daniel O’ Donnell and Sir Cliff Richard at the Kincasslagh Festival, County Donegal. John also played support to the legendary Sir. Elton John.
    Albums number two (“What’s A Guy Gotta Do”) and three (“Irish Collection – Volume 1”) ensured that John is now a household name of the Irish country music scene. Grateful for the support of friends, family and fans John now delivers his first DVD release entitled “John McNicholl”. On one of his numerous visits to the United States, John decided he wanted to share the experience of his travels with his listeners and friends. The DVD brings John’s songs to the screen and shows him how he really is, spending time on the road, travelling around Ireland and also further afield. The luxury double pack DVD & CD features some of John’s favourite tracks taken from his four albums to date.
    Join John on his journeys and enjoy!

    The 1970s hosted a number of still-famous names in country music. Conway Twitty borrowed his first and last names from Conway, Ark., and Twitty, Texas. Before that, he was known as Harold Lloyd Jenkins. Still identified with the "Rocky Mountain High" of Colorado, John Denver wisely dropped his real name -- John Henry Deutschendorf. Johnny Paycheck once signed his name as Donald Eugene Lytle. Donna Fargo dropped Yvonne Vaughn, then became known as "The Happiest Girl in the U.S.A." When Virginia Wynette Pugh famously strolled into producer Billy Sherrill's office, she probably didn't know she was about to become Tammy Wynette. And Crystal Gayle changed her name from Brenda Gail Webb on the advice of her older sister, Loretta Lynn, noting that Brenda liked that Southern staple, Krystal hamburgers.

    One of the biggest country stars of the 1980s kept his real first name but slightly adjusted his surname, transforming from Randy Traywick to Randy Travis. Back then, he shared the country charts with the intriguing mother-daughter duo, Diana and Christina Ciminella, a.k.a., the Judds. Naomi Judd smartly retrieved her maiden name for the famous moniker, while Wynonna eventually dropped it altogether.

    The names of Patsy Cline and Hank Williams are etched into country music history. However, that's not their real names. Instead, Cline was born with the name Virginia Patterson Hensley. And despite the countless references to "Hank" in country music lyrics, his actual name is Hiram King Williams.
