Taylor Byrne

Taylor Byrne is a dynamic multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and the magnetic frontman of the renowned Franco-Irish collective The Celtic Social Club. At just 23, Byrne has already taken to the main stages of major European festivals — including Beautiful Days, Ecaussystème, and Les Vieilles Charrues — captivating audiences with his charismatic performances and undeniable musical talent. With a gift for catchy melodies, clever lyricism, and genre-blurring creativity, Byrne is now channelling his experience into a promising solo career rooted in his native Ireland.

His upcoming single, ‘Time Better Spent’, is an infectious toe-tapper that demands repeat listens. Written while on tour with The Celtic Social Club, the track features a swaggering acoustic guitar rhythm, witty lyrics — “I’ve been listening without being heard, I’ve been lying without saying a word” — and playful call-and-response harmonies. Though lyrically tinged with romantic disenchantment, it’s the song’s insistent pulse and lush melodic drive that truly shine.

‘Time Better Spent’ marks the latest addition to a vibrant and distinctive catalogue that has earned Byrne an attentive and growing following across Ireland and the UK. With sold-out headline shows in Dublin and London over the past six months, festival appearances at All Together Now and Electric Picnic, and more music slated for release throughout 2025, Byrne is poised to take the next bold step in an already impressive ascent.
