Glen Curtin

From: ?

Active: '70s onwards

Style: Pop / Country / Showband


Bio: I know almost nothing about Glen Curtin (real name Harry Curtin, 1943-2009) who was born in CorK and fronted various outfits including Xanadu, The New Blues and The Nevada before forming his own Galaxy Band in the late 70s and persuing a very successful solo career in Ireland. Virtually unknown outside his homeland though he was a winner on ITV's New Faces show.

Note the Glen Curtin Galaxy Band also appeared as backing band on recorsings by Maurice Walsh and Lisa Love.
