Pzazz are a group of young Irish sopranos. [ [http://www.pzazzmusic.com/ The Pzazz website] ]

They have released one single, "Daughter of Connolly", which is to be used as the theme song for the upcoming movie "Connolly", a film about James Connolly.

The girls are:Claire Halligan, Fiona McManus, Mary-Frances Loughran, Aoife Nic Ardghail. [ [http://www.athloneadvertiser.ie/index.php?aid=798 The Athlone Advertiser] ]

Three of the girls are classically trained sopranos, while Aoife had previous success as a dancer. The ladies all had performing experience before joining the group. Claire had toured and performed with numerous orchestras etc, appearing on TV and singing and acting in a number of stage productions. Fiona had appeared on TV's "Popstars" and had obtained a music degree from Trinity College. Mary-Frances was an actress, singer and dancer who appeared in a number of stage plays and musicals and Aoife brought a certain uniqueness through her experience with acting and dancing.

Pzazz completed their national tour of Ireland, supporting The Celtic Tenors in late December 2005/January 2006. They received a considerable amount of media attention in Ireland around April/May 2006, when they appeared in many magazines, for example ("The Star", "News of the World"), newspapers ("The Irish Times", "Irish Independent", "Irish Examiner"), national radio (BBC Radio Ulster, RTÉ with Tom McGurk [ [http://www.rte.ie/radio1/todaywithpatkenny/1032597.html "Today with Pat Kenny"] , (Tom McGurk interviewing)] ), and television (RTÉ's "Nationwide", TV3's "Ireland AM") amongst many others.
