Phil Coulter is one of Ireland’s best known and most iconic singer / songwriters and producers with a career that not only spans the years, crosses generations, but has reached far across the world, from performing at The White House, playing live to 600,000 people on Capitol Hill (Washington DC), marching at the head of the St Patrick’s Day Parade in New York to Royal command performances from Japan to Finland and this is just the tip of an extraordinary professional ice berg.
Phil Coulter has recorded with the greatest artistes in the business, has had multiple hits, has a catalogue of album. His music remains timeless and is a symbol of his remarkable talent.
“A Living Legend” was the accolade officially bestowed on Phil Coulter in a recent online poll.

As a songwriter he has clocked up covers with a wide range of stars from Elvis Presley to Waylon Jennings, from Cliff Richard to The Bay City Rollers
He created two of the most successful Eurovision Songs ever – Puppet on a String and Congratulations and his contribution to The Great Irish Songbook is unequalled – Scorn Not His Simplicity, Steal Away, Ireland’s Call and The Town I Loved So Well.
As a record producer his credits are formidable and include icons like Van Morrison and Sinead O’Connor, as well as classical greats like Sir James Galway, not to mention a veritable who’s who in Celtic music, from Planxty to The Dubliners, from Liam Clancy to The Fureys.
