Reviews

Irish Cultural Centre

“Just wish to say how much I enjoyed listening to you on Pat's Day in the ICC. I literally was blown away by the power of your delivery and hadn't heard anything like it for a good 50 years! That may sound a bizarre claim but to my ears, you came across as a hybrid between Liam Clancy and Luke Kelly when they were at their peak. Like I said to you when I shook your hand - you really can 'Pump the crowd up'!”

John O’Hora

The Punchbowl, Mayfair

“Justin Timberlake had been in town to launch his sportswear line, and couldn't resist popping down when he heard that a ceilidh was on the cards. And, credit where it's due, the boy can hold down a rhythm. Glistening with sweat, Timberlake speaks for us all as the all-jigging-juggernaut of a waltz grinds to a wheezy halt. "That was amazing," he cries, eyes moistened by the emotion of the occasion and several bottles of strong cider. "A-f***ing-may-zing!"”
