The Voice Of Ireland

seachto7 · 06-03-2012 2:54pm

Bressie gave out that the blizzards folded because of illegal downloads, that he made no money. The Blizzards folded because they were sh*t and the music had no staying power, and they had nothing really to say. Plenty of bands have survived and made money throughout the "illegal download" period. Wise up Bressie and just get on with it! Who knows, you might get another crack at it, and make some dollah next time around. I'm sure he's not short of a bob.......
Why is he even on this show?

I would imagine he meant that they realised no one was bothering to even illegally download their shite music so they just called it quits.

I've never heard a Blizzards song so I can't comment.

Is the Brassie chap going solo now?

I've heard the first song before. Never knew it was The Blizzards though.

Bressie has also been songwriting for other groups. This is one of his for new Girlband 'Fanfair', who have supported The Wanted. Incidentally, Fanfair feature Irish former X Factor Contestant, Roberta Howett (Blonde girl on the Right)

Let's be honest, it's because he's good looking.

I was given a signed picture with an autograph of one of the acts performing next week - hopefully the act will win outright and become more famous than the beatles and I'll be rich rich rich I tells ya.

Good luck with that. Most of the acts on the voice will be doing well if they're singing in the local pub in a few years time.
