"The Feel-Good, Pick-Me-Up Musical" - Sunday Expess
Mary Byrne rose to fame in 2010 after becoming a finalist on the seventh series of The X Factor in 2010. Following her elimination in the live semi-final, she signed a record deal with Sony Records. Mine & Yours, Byrne’s debut album, was released in March 2011; it spent two weeks at the number one spot and eight weeks in the top five of the Irish music charts. The album was produced by hitmaker Nigel Wright (Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Andrew Lloyd Webber).
Her Second album ‘...with Love’ released earlier this year was also a top 10 hit in the music charts.
Mary was recently honoured to perform for the Queen at a special show, celebrating Her Majesty’s first state visit to Ireland. She also appeared as a special guest for Neil Diamond at his Aviva Stadium concert and has just completed a six night headlining residency at Dublin’s Olympia Theatre.
