SINGING AND MUSIC HAVE ALWAYS PLAYED A HUGE PART IN JIMMY’S LIFE AND HE NOTES ELVIS AND BUDDY HOLLY AS AMONG HIS GREATEST EARLIEST INFLUENCES.

Jimmy’s career is going from strength to strength and he is destined to be a huge star – he is already one of the top entertainers in Ireland, and his ambition is to conquer the English Country Market, not ruling out Europe. Following numerous visits across the water to England, Jimmy is building up a large fan base and his concerts and dances are always sold out. When he finishes one tour, he is inundated with requests for details of his next.

Jimmy Buckley is now regarded as one of Ireland’s most successful Entertainers, not only has he received every major accolade here at Home but following numerous Tours across the water to The UK and America, Jimmy is now consistently selling out his Dances and Concerts in both countries. His popularity has extended into mainland Europe with his Craic on The Costa trips to Southern Spain proving to be a regular Best Seller…

Jimmy first came to the attention of the Birmingham Audiences when he appeared on Bob Brolly’s Big Charity Show, in the Symphony Hall, Birmingham, on Sunday 22nd June 2003. Since that first appearance Jimmy’s star has certainly continued to rise.

After his massive hit song “Your Wedding Day”(written by Henry McMahon), Jimmy conquered the Irish music scene and he continues to make his mark on the concert scene in England.

In 2007 Jimmy released his first DVD “Live In Concert”. The DVD won “DVD of the year” at The Irish World awards and has been shown coast to coast on U.S television on more than one occasion. In recent years he has appeared as a guest on national television in Ireland, including The Late Late Show and Miriam on RTE, as well as Virgin Media’s Six o Clock show and Ireland AM.

Back in 2008 Jimmy realised one of his major professional and personal ambitions when he recorded a duet with Country Music Legend, George Jones. It was everything he had hoped it would be. The Galway based singer found himself in the studio with one of The Greats of The Country Music Business, who at one stage admitted to being blown away by the range and beauty of Jimmy’s Voice.

In 2007 Jimmy released his first DVD “Live In Concert”. The DVD won “DVD of the year” Irish World award and it has been shown coast to coast on U.S television on more than one occasion.

Also in 2007 Jimmy visited Nashville, Tennessee. It was everything he had hoped it would be, from the visit to the Grand Old Opry to the Country Music Hall of Fame but the icing on the cake was the visit to Gracelands, the home of Jimmy’s idol, Elvis. Later Jimmy said that the visit was very emotional and inspiring.

In February 2008 Jimmy worked on a Caribbean cruise and then in March/April he toured with Charley Pride.

November 2008 saw the release of “The Grand Tour – Live”, Jimmy’s second Live in concert DVD & CD. This 23-track DVD builds on the success of Jimmy’s first “Live In Concert” DVD.

Jimmy is presently very busy in the studio working on a brand new album which will be available soon. He has just released a new single called “Say Me Marie” which is available to request on your local radio station now!
