After a very eventful year where they captured the nation's hearts on The X Factor, talented Blessington brothers Sean and Conor Price are set to launch their debut album 'Dreamer' this weekend.
Naas CBS students Sean, 18, and Conor,15, first rose to prominence when they auditioned for the famed singing competition in September 2017 with their modern version of Jimi Hendrix’s ‘All Along The Watchtower’, complete with rapping from guitar-playing Sean and vocals by Conor.
Their performance was greatly praised by Simon Cowell who said that it was “one of the best auditions we’ve had.” The talented duo made it all the way to the quarter-finals of last year's X Factor, before completing Junior and Leaving Certificate exams during the summer and touring Ireland with their own headline tour 'Be Like You.'
Now, the brothers are focusing on their music launching their mini-album 'Dreamer' at Golden Discs in Cork at 2pm on Saturday October 27 and then in Golden Discs in Dundrum in Dublin on Sunday October 28 at 2pm, while they will also perform live and sign autographs for fans.
In a statement announcing the news, the Price brothers said that they are 'so excited' to share their new debut album with fans.
