After reading the SXSW bio on Tommy Reilly (1425 words), it seemed clear that this young musician is on the verge of world domination. In practice, Reilly is a likable singer-songwriter, with lightweight songs and nice melodies. And he also looks like a slightly older, more awkward version Tom Hanks' friend in Big . It's noteworthy that this was Reilly's first show stateside, after enjoying the spoils of winning the Idol -esque Orange UnsignedAct competition last year. DOWNLOAD: Tommy Reilly - (MP3) [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours Martin Acoustic in hand, Tommy Reilly will dominate the stage at the SXSW festival on St. Patrick's Day in the Parish. The self-proclaimed shy musician has quite the knack for letting his charm and passion radiate through his silky voice. Recently, Spinner had the opportunity to talk with Reilly about his music, his plans for the upcoming SXSW festival and his soon-to-be-released album. [...]
There were acts to suit everyone's taste over the three halls that made up last weekend's Homecoming Live flagship event. While there was a decent bill of Noughties guitar bands on show, it somehow seemed more appropriate to see what the heroes of yesteryear had to offer. The Vaselines were met with a mixed reaction and after their final song, You Think You're A Man, they left the stage with a parting shot to the crowd of "You have been alright". It was telling just how much [...]

Scotland's rapidly rising star Unicorn Kid has turned his hand to remixing Scotland's other bright light, Tommy Reilly , winner of this year's Orange Unsigned Act . It takes Tommy's fragile tones and puts it to a Casio-keyboard styled backing. You'll either love this or be sending me death threats for featuring it. Either way, I quite like it - it's like a kids version of a 90's Euro trance hit. Download it below and let us know what you think. MP3: [...]
Imagine a Scottish music festival where your don't have to pay extra to park your car or pitch your tent; where you can come and go as you please from the festival site; where children under 12 can get in for nothing; where stage times are distributed free of charge at the event; where there are designated "quiet zone" camping areas. Imagine no more - this is the BELLADRUM / TARTAN HEART FESTIVAL . So good they named it twice. Location: Beauly, Inverness-shire. [...]

If the careers of David Sneddon, Michelle McManus and Leon Jackson are anything to go by, TOMMY REILLY can look forward to a future of obscurity, humiliation and indifference... which would be a right shame because this latest Scottish winner of a national TV talent contest deserves much better. The 19-year-old singer-songwriter beat 7,000 other hopefuls from the UK to be crowned T4's Orange Unsigned Act champion last weekend, with Glasgow band Hip Parade [...]
Just a quick one to round up the week, before we sign off for the weekend. As we all know, Sundays were made for relaxing. I myself plan on doing absolutely zilch this Sunday - a chance to recharge the batteries and relax. However, this week (for once) there's a reasonable amount worth watching on TV. If you're suffering from a hangover after a big Saturday night, why not lie back on the sofar to catch the final of Orange unsignedAct with Sony Ericsson on Channel 4 from 1-2pm, with the results at 2:35pm. It's between three pretty [...]
The search for the U.K's best unsigned artist is nearing its end this January as Channel 4's hit show, Orange unsignedAct with Sony Ericsson , ever approaches the anticipated live final in a couple of weeks time. Later this week Phil will be bringing you lucky readers interviews with the finalists of the show, but before that, let me give you a little background on the competition labelled 'the indie X Factor'. The show, which airs every Sunday at 12:30pm on Channel 4, is presented by tousle-haired XFMer Alex Zane and fittingly comes complete with a star-studded [...]

Tommy Reilly Genre: Acoustic / Pop From: Glasgow, United Kingdom This weeks Orange Unsigned included an amazing cover of The Killers Mr Brightside by the unassuming king of unrequited love, Scotland's answer to Morrissey, Tommy the troubadeur Reilly. It was so good it brought ex Blur guitarist Alex James to tears. [...]
