Who Is Niall MacMahon?

Niall MacMahon has worked across various obscure Irish rock outfits throughout his career, performing on vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, bass and keyboards. Prior to this solo record, he recorded a single with the band Shocking Stockings, released via Carrere Records in 1980. His songwriting has continued to find life beyond his own recordings, including a full album of his songs later reinterpreted in various 90s dance genres by Lila MacMahon on her album Damn The Colours.

About Later And The Philip Chevron Connection

Released via Kaleidoscope Sound Records in 1988, Later brought together MacMahon with a notable production team: Philip Chevron, guitarist and songwriter for The Pogues, alongside producer Joe Foster and MacMahon himself. The eight track album, spanning tracks including The Way Things Are Going, Like An Alien and Dream Of Excellence, features Chevron contributing piano, acoustic guitar, tambourine and melodica, alongside further guest musicians including uilleann piper Tomy Keane, bassist Ron Kavana and drummer Jimmy Wynne, with MacMahon's wife Bree MacMahon providing backing vocals. The record captures a distinctly Irish rock sensibility, blending traditional instrumentation with MacMahon's own songwriting voice.
