Emmett Tinley from Blessington launched a solo career after his former band The Prayerboat called it quits in 2001
About Emmett Tinley
Emmett Tinley was the frontman and main songwriter of The Prayerboat, a band formed in 1987 which also included his brother Pat. He continued on solo after that band came to an end in 2001. Emmett released the album "Attic Faith" in 2005 to high critical acclaim.
From a review of "Attic Faith" by Andrew Lynch, Entertainment.ie:
"Against a low-key backing of muscular guitars and graceful strings, Tinley sings these sweetly wistful songs in an aching falsetto that's often strikingly reminiscent of Jeff Buckley."
His second album, Emmett Tinley, was released in 2011.
