    Sean Millar In 2002 Sean Millar released his album ‘always coming home’ on baba records.Produced by Sean and Joe Chester it’s lush melodic instrumental arrangements harmonies and strong songwriting won him many new fans.The Irish times and hotpress wrote rave reviews comparing him favorably with Dylan and Elvis Costello.“I wanted to make an album that in some way reflected the American folk rock I grew up listening to; I wanted to sing sweetly for a change and use pianos and have acoustic guitars and sweet harmonies”On the night Sean will be joined by several fans and friends to sing the songs Hotpress called “the best collection of short stories that you haven’t read”. This is a one off chance to hear some of Irelands best vocalists sing these songs.Dont miss it!

Doctor Millar - a potted history

Sean, AKA Doctor Millar would make most peoples A-list of Irish songwriters.

Having split from cult (and critically lauded) rocknroll band The Cute Hoors in 1992 he began working on a new batch of songs which saw release in 1995 as the bitter Lie.

The bitter lie got rave reviews in all of the national papers and Sean was nominated as solo Artist of the year, at the Hot Press Heineken awards in 1996 - in the same category as Van Morrison, Gavin Friday and Paul Brady.

The bitter lie was included in the Today FM /Sunday Tribune top fifty Irish albums of all time.

His second album The Deal(1998) was as rapturously reviewed and was included in the Sunday times top five albums of the year (see sample press included)

His third album always coming home caused the Irish times - in its five star review! -to proclaim him an Irish National Treasure

His songs have been covered live by Nina Hynes, Jack L, Camille OSullivan, Joe Chester, and Tom Dunne to name but a few

He has toured in Ireland, England, France, Switzerland, Italy, Norway and Denmark and in the United States and Canada and been the subject of major Articles in all the main Irish publications. He has performed on countless TV and radio shows both in Ireland and abroad. .

Sean Presents the hot Press Hot spot each week on east coast radio - one of the most respected rock shows on the air. Photobucket Photobucket
