Dublin has a long and legendary tradition of writers, and since Conor OBrien adopted the name Villagers, the singer-songwriter-instrumentalist-dramatist has joined the club with a rich, deep and diverse body of work. Critically acclaimed, Villagers have been awarded IrelandÕs Choice Music Prize, nominated for UKÕs Mercury Music Prize and Conor has been awarded two prestigious Ivor NovelloÕs for his songwriting.
Villagers sixth studio album, That Golden Time due for release in May 2024 (via Domino) underlines OBriens unwavering commitment to a uniquely nuanced, literate and melodic fusion of folk, pop and rock that has won awards and accolades from peers such as Paul Weller, Elvis Costello, Damon Albarn and Guy Garvey.
