Born in Belfast Ireland Houston sprang to public prominence when a demo he made with a friend for £100 was played on local radio. Public demand pushed the song on to the stations A list. With a hit under his belt Houston personally hand delivered albums to local record stores racking up thousands of sales by word of mouth and with help of local radio support. Before long he was opening for Elvis Costello, Van Morrison and Chuck Berry and touring in Ireland, the UK, Europe and North America. Not bad for a shipyard carpenter. Hailed as one of Britain’s great songwriters by legendary British DJ Bob Harris, Houston achieved national radio play on BBC Radio and even had a track, which he recorded in his bedroom, included on a BBC album with Whitney Houston, The Staples Singers and Elvis Presley. Radio play in England led to Houston sharing a stage with Robert Plant and selling out the Grand Opera House in Belfast. From the far north of Canada to the back woods of North Carolina and the cobbled streets of Romania, Houston follows the music where ever it leads him. Embracing many styles from folk to country, gospel blues to Irish traditional. Houstons latest album Belfast Troubadour is soon to be released and following the national airplay success of the first single SHINE, the follow up Good Things (already featured on BBC Radio Two) is set for release on May 3rd.
