Mary Byrne’s story is the stuff of fairytales and movies. She’s the Tesco supermarket checkout lady who took a chance in life at the age of fifty by auditioning for Britain and Ireland’s biggest TV talent show, the X Factor. Although she was pipped for a place in the 2010 X Factor final after going out in the semi-final, Mary won the hearts of millions with her big, warm personality and powerhouse voice. And when she finally got her life-changing break in the world of showbusiness, Mary Byrne, a bright and ambitious woman with a wealth of life’s experiences under her belt, was determined to make the most of it. Her second album is a collection of classic songs, some that are personal to Mary, others that have been suggested to her by Phil. It also includes a brand new Phil Coulter song called, ‘Thank God This Was My Life’, which has been inspired by Mary’s own life. Mary is set to release her 3rd album "Magic of the Musicals" on 28th March 2014 which features updated songs from the classic musicals including..There may be Trouble ahead, Hello Young Lovers, As Time Goes by and I Dreamed a Dream, Summertime, Someone to watch over me, Lets face the music and dance, Cheek to Cheek, On the street where you live, Can't help lovin dat man of mind, and her first self penned song..Midnight Dreamer.
