NELL BRYDEN was recently added to Irelands biggest radio playlist RTE Radio 1, within a week following, she was became- THE ONLY INDEPENDENT ARTIST TO BE ADDED TO THE BBC2 PLAYLIST- alongside The Script, Paolo Nutini, Fleet Foxes, a-ha, James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen, The Eagles & Bat For Lashes. Bryden causing quite a stir in the press last year when she funded her career with a Milton Avery painting she found in her attic- which she brought to Sothebys to auction off for thousands of dollars! Instead of depositing her good fortune in the unruly stock market, she poured it into her music career-Circling the globe, building a passionate following for her Americana-Country-Soul hybrid sound. Four major International tours in the last 12 months (totaling almost 500 in just over 2 years, including a tour with KT Tunstall, The Counting Crows and impromptu sets with well known Irish acts-Damien Dempsey, Cathy Davey, MUNDY, Mick Flannery, DUKE SPECIAL & Declan O Rourke), and Bryden is already tipped as being one to watch. Nell was also named Best Unsigned Artist of 2008 on Hits Daily Double. Her single “Second Time Around” earned her a Top 40 in the Official Irish Charts and received weekly radio plays across Ireland & The UK. (Including Terry Wogan's Radio 2 show in the UK & RTE Radio1). It was Song of The Week� on Today FM. And was then featured in one of Ireland's most well known compilations CEOL (09) CD, featuring along side Glen Hansard, Duke Special, Mick Flannery and other well known Top Irish Acts.

Nell was also interviewed on BBC Breakfast TV show (with other special guests such as Enrique Iglesias, GOK WAN and Daniel Craig) upon her return from IRAQ, where she entertained the troops and boosted morale. Nell was then invited onto Ireland's biggest TV SHOW The Late Late Show� with Pat Kenny alongside ENYA & Pete Doherty. She has had features in lifestyle and music magazines such as CHOICE magazine, Social & Personal Magazine, UNCUT, Q & WORD along with TV slots on BBC, RTE, TV3, Channel 6, Buzz TV & URMUZIC. Nell also recently went back to IRAQ for her 2nd tour, where the Award winning documentary maker SUSAN COHN ROCKEFELLER (of the Rockefeller dynasty in the USA) commissioned a team of filmmakers to go with Nell and make a documentary on the Tour. This is currently being edited with a view to be released in the fall.

Her album WHAT DOES IT TAKE is produced by Grammy-winning producer- David Kershenbaum (Tracy Chapman, Tori Amos, Joe Jackson). David was so excited to be working with Nell and claimed He hadn't been this excited about an act since Tracy Chapman! The Counting Crows guitarist Dave IMMY� Immergluck- also plays on the album. With a bevy of industry tastemakers and major Irish, British and American labels at each show she plays, Nell is simply the most talked about and sought after new artist of 2009. Nell has built this buzz the old-fashioned way: word-of-mouth endorsements of her live show. She has been deemed as one of the British Isles and indeed Ireland's next breaking act. What does it take- well lets just say, she has what it takes!
