Ryan McMullan to play Limerick venue on nationwide pub crawl

SINGER-songwriter Ryan McMullan is playing in Dolans ahead of his debut album launch in November.

Following the release of his single Never Mattered on October 4, Ryan is going on a pub crawl of “some of the finest pubs that Ireland has to offer”, where he’ll be playing intimate pre-release listening shows of his upcoming album, Redesign.

Since the early days of his career, he has garnered attention from industry heavyweights, including Ed Sheeran, who called Ryan’s voice a ‘rare jewel’, and Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol, who likened his voice to that of an angel. 

Having previously supported music icons such as Ed Sheeran, Dermot Kennedy, Snow Patrol, and Kodaline, the Co Down native is aiming for a headlining career of his own with the release of Redesign on November 1.

The album focuses on love in its various forms - love for his family, his new wife, his friends or even his business associates. 

His newly-released single Never Mattered showcases McMullan’s “distinctive blend of soulful vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and dynamic instrumentation”.

The song is about reminiscing on old friendships that over time, whether because of new area codes or just life getting in the way, have drifted apart, but knowing that no matter what, they remain fully intact. 

Ryan said: “I think we can all think of someone in our lives that we don’t get to see as much as we once did, but when we do get some time together, we pick up exactly where we left off. This one’s for them”.

Ryan will be performing in Dolan’s on Tuesday, October 22.
