Country Queen For Forty Five Years.

“I would have to say that life in show business is certainly a lot harder now than it was at the start of my career”, says Ireland’s undisputed ‘Queen of Country Music’ Philomena Begley as she embarks on a special tour to celebrate 45 years in the music business ably supported by her son Aidy Quinn and his six piece Band and many of her friends from the showband era. However she added “I still wouldn’t like to give it up. It’s in the blood and I’m enjoying my work a lot better now than when I started out”.

Born in Pomeroy, Co. Tyrone Philomena started singing at a very early age in The Old Cross Ceili Band, later fronting The Rambling Men. She has appeared in most prestigious theatres and venues throughout the world including Carnegie Hall, New York, Wembley Festival, London’s Royal Albert Hall and Sydney, Australia to mention a few. She also performed many times at The Grand Old Opry in Nashville following an invitation from her good friend Porter Wagoner in 1978. Philomena is now busier than ever appearing at music festival weeks and weekends throughout the world including Spain, Portugal, New York, South Africa and The Caribbean.

That busy pattern continues for Philomena Begley as she plans to ‘Celebrate Her 45 years in the Music Business’ at Nottingham Irish Centre on Sunday March 16th also Open-air Concert on The Afternoon of Monday March 17th. Also appearing is Aidy Quinn (son of Philomena) and his six piece Band. Commencing at 10.30pm. These artists are presently receiving excellent reviews and awards for their performances and recordings. Aidy’s latest single entitled Lough Sheelin Side is one of the most requested on local radio and he will have a new album available in the near future.

Philomena always turns in a top quality performance that reveals why there’s no arguing her status as Queen of Country Music. As Daniel O’Donnell, a long time friend and fan once said “When Philomena sings a song you believe her…..you feel that she’s experienced every emotion she expresses. That’s a unique gift for a singer and certainly one of the qualities that has kept her at the top of the ladder over the years.

Having recorded 25 albums and numerous singles, the first of which was a song entitled ‘My Little Son’ Philomena Begley has graced the charts many times over the years. Prism Records recently released three double albums, each featuring 40 of Philomena’s best-known songs on each double collection.
