Niall Quinn aka ‘Theme Tune Boy’ returns

Niall Quinn makes a return visit as guest of The SongWriter Sessions at The Loft Venue upstairs at The Locke Bar on September 9. A legend in Limerick music circles, Niall was chief songwriter and drummer with The Hitchers releasing critically acclaimed albums in the late 90’s and counted Bob Geldolf and the late, great John Peel as fans.

His first foray into fronting a band led him to forming The Cranberry Saw Us with Noel and Mike Hogan which mutated into the multi-million selling Cranberries with Delores O’Riordan on vocals. His latest monkier is Theme Tune Boy where he trades in his familiar irreverent lyrics set to mean melodies taking a rye look at everything from living life to football to suicide.

This years single from TTB, ‘Rose’ garnered loads of airplay and kudos from the leftfield corners of national radio. Expect to hear his recent material peppered with a couple of Hitcher’s tunes.
