IMRO Award Presented to John Gallen

May 31, 2022

John Gallen joined us last week for the presentation of an IMRO Award in recognition of his album 1970s.

The IMRO Number 1 Award was introduced to acknowledge IMRO members who reach number 1 in the album charts here in Ireland.

During the pandemic, the multi-instrumentalist put on his software engineer hat to build a home studio and set free the songs which have been buried deep in his soul.

John’s goal? “The ability to transport an audience to a different place, make them look through a different lens.”

Nostalgic, yet relevant. Unheard of but warmly familiar. John Gallen has been biding his time. “I think in rhyme & find melody in everything,” he explains.

Johns debut album 1970s, produced by Grammy nominated Billy Farrell, is out now.
