Susan McCann & The Storytellers

Susan McCann first came to the attention of Ireland's entertainment scene with her first hit single, "Big Tom Is Still The King." Although the record was more of a gimmick (aimed at the reigning King of Country and Irish at the time) it caught on and topped the Irish charts in 1977, establishing Susan as an artist whose time had come.     Prior to bursting onto the Irish scene, Susan and husband, Dennis Heaney had a three piece group that played the local pubs and cabaret spots around her home in Newry, Co. Down. The success of the single led to the formation of her band, The Storytellers.
