About

One of the biggest selling Irish artists in history, songwriter and pianist Phil Coulter left Ireland to make his name in London during the swinging '60s, writing a number of pop hits and playing with the likes of Van Morrison, the Rolling Stones and Tom Jones. Later he made big bucks writing for the Bay City Rollers; but ultimately he returned to his roots, recording sentimental Irish tunes with lush orchestral arrangements.
