IMT Singer Showcase

IMT promotions under the direction of Deirdre Masterson is thrilled to return to The Sugar Club, showcasing four individual and uniquely talented artists ready for international stardom. With over thirty years’ experience of mentoring and showcasing artists both at home and abroad, Deirdre is excited to present Hayley Crosbie, Cathal Gavin, Brian Horgan, and Karla Tracey on September 25th for what promises to be a wonderful nights entertainment.

Popular Singer, Song- Writer Brian Horgan, beautifully segues between Contemporary, and Easy listening genres, with a sprinkle of infectious showmanship. Through his 1970’s influenced story telling songs, Brian’s charismatic stagecraft lures audiences on a journey of love, loss, laughter and hope, with his mellow, sincere tones and extraordinary, communicative abilities. Brian’s musical influences include Rufas Wanright, Michael Buble, Carol King, Bette Midler and Charles Aznavour.

Hayley Crosbie is an aspiring contemporary soul singer with R&B influences. Her definitive chocolate tones, innate jazz rhythm and musicality coupled with deep and meaningful interpretations, present the ingredients for an exciting new artist in the current commercial music industry. Characteristics of Amy Winehouse, Nat King Cole, Luther Vandross and Abba weave through this innovative exciting new vocalist.

Commerical Pop, Singer Song-Writer Cathal Gavin has a voice that echoes legends and a spirit that defies genres. He ignites contemporary pop with a cinematic soul-stirring sound, and a fusion of styles channeling Billy Joel, George Michael, Sam Smith and Adele. Audiences are in for a treat with Cathal’s multi octave range, grandiose performances and deep personal story telling.

There is always a space for the next Leading Lady on the West End stage, and Karla Tracey certainly ticks those boxes with her beautiful tone, immense and agile range, interpretative skills and Hollywood glamour. Karla duly won best female voice at this year’s AIMS awards for her adaptation of “Christine”, in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s, Phantom of the Opera and has already been cast for a new musical “Irish Affair” by West End composer Stuart Brayson, with Executive Producer Sir Tim Rice. It’s no surprise that Kelli O’ Hara, Julie Andrews and Sierra Boggess have majorly influenced this young Diva in the making.
