Villagers was recently presented an IMRO Award in recognition of his album That Golden Time.
The IMRO Number 1 Award was introduced to acknowledge IMRO members who reach number 1 in the album charts here in Ireland.
Dublin has a long & legendary tradition of writers, & since Conor O’Brien adopted the name Villagers, the singer-songwriter-producer has joined the club with a rich & diverse body of work. The new Villagers album, That Golden Time, underlines O’Brien’s unwavering commitment to a uniquely nuanced, literate & melodic fusion of folk, pop & rock that has won accolades from peers such as Elvis Costello, Damon Albarn, Guy Garvey & The National.
