Nicola McGuire
Hi there and thank you for visiting, my name is Nicola McGuire, I am a professional vocalist and independent Wedding Celebrant based in Ireland.
Here’s a little bit about me.
I have been singing since I was 9 years old, starting with musicals and variety productions in Galway. I performed solo in a variety competition at age 9 and won the best solo performer award. This started my journey and my love of singing and performing.
Throughout my career I have been so lucky to have some amazing opportunities. I have toured extensively with shows as a vocalist. I worked with Irish Music productions, ‘Dance of Desire’ and ‘The Women Of Ireland’ performing all over North America, Europe and the Middle East.
I have been a vocalist with Galway’s famous Black Magic Big Band for 18 years. This 20 piece big band has performed for some of the most prestigious events in Ireland.
I attended The Berklee school of music in Boston and studied vocal performance.
I have been performing at wedding ceremonies as a soloist since 2000 and started The Cosmonauts with band mate Joe Egan in 2008. The Cosmonauts are now regarded as one of the top wedding bands in Ireland.
As a wedding vocalist I have won a number of awards.
