Teddy D Promotions are proud to present the brand new song writing duo of Colette Cassidy & Nigel Clark at the launch of their debut album Confetti Falling In The Rain.  A collection of 12 originally penned songs that are both touching and moving. Wonderfully composed and performed the album is laying down a marker for an exciting future in Jazz / popular music. 

In 2014 guitarist and music producer Nigel Clark found love in Ireland  – and made the move from his native Scotland to Dublin. Bringing with him a wealth of music experience particularly as a collaborator and accompanist to some of the world’s outstanding vocal talents, including Moya Brennan, Carol Kidd and Gloria Gaynor, he also established a duo project with Irish jazz vocalist Colette Cassidy.

They began working together and Nigel quickly realised that he had stumbled upon a major undiscovered Irish songwriting talent; as Nigel recalls “Colette’s lyrics read like poetry.” The resulting album of twelve original songs blends the traditions of classic Irish Ballads and The Great American Songbook.

The image of Confetti and it’s variety of colours provides the backdrop to the album’s storytelling as each individual song brings the listener on an emotional journey of Life’s joy and pain and the surprise of Love.

Earlybird offer is available online through Eventbrite until midnight on the 10th March. The purchaser will gain entry to the concert on the 6th April along with a copy of the new album Confetti Falling In The Rain.
