"I was transported back to the beauty of Ireland."

"I just want to let you know that I feel quite blessed to have been at your concert in Port Alberni on Saturday night. You were enchanting from start to finish and your individual talents are not only enormous but also enthralling when you put them together. What really made it special as well, and distinguishes you both in my mind, is the way you related and invited the audience into your heritage and your journey.
I was captivated by Paul's playing....phenominal. Another wonderful experience was the reading from your novel. I read voraciously myself but often find my mind drifting when I listen to others read. Not so when you were reading.... I was riveted to your story and upon reflecting I realize that somehow you managed to engage more than just
the ears....you settled us into a "world" and I felt that I had travelled to Ireland for a few moments in time. Thank you so much again for coming to Port and sharing your music with us."
Cara - Port Alberni
(EXPLETIVE!), You guys are good! I loved everything you sang
and the beautiful mood you created. A world of Celtic song
and ballads. You are story weavers and carry a wonderful presence
of another place in time, our roots! - Brenda T - Saskatchewan
"We can't help but move to the beats and smile at the dynamic between you and your husband.It was a privilege to be witness to your music!"
Rita, Manitoba

Nancy, Winnipeg
" I was transported back to the beauty of Ireland."
Kathleen, Winnipeg
"Wonderful musicians in their own right. Magical together!"
Ursula, Manitoba
"I loved every note!"
It is amazing how two people can sound like a full band.
I loved the diversity of what you bring. Such a mood you created
with your stage, and I felt transported from a hectic day
to a night of sincerity, beauty and enthusiastic joy. - April
P - Alberta
So
great to have a real Irish singer come to our festival. So
many acts claim to be Celtic based, but do not deliver a Celtic
show. You voice and presentation are amazing and your guitar
player is out of this world.
- Spencer T - BC
Amazing presentation, loved the music, but the heartfelt
performance really captivated the music. Good on ya! Best
Wishes.
- Sean W - Saskatchewan
Dawson City awaits your return! Please bring your enormous talents back soon! - Dawson City, Yukon
Enthralled. I am enthralled. We, the audience, were in the
palm of your hand from the moment you stepped onto stage.
Such passion in both your voice and in the guitar playing.
I love the box drum too. And your dance at the end! - Peter
L - BC
Your voice and songs make me feel like I'm in Ireland. Your
clothes and movements are entrancing as is your stage presence.
- Ira T - Alberta
For such a tiny person, you sure have a big effect on your
audience. Somehow, you did not seem small on that big stage.
- Lillian R - BC
What an honor to have had you in our community. You sound
as great, if not better as on your CD! - Elena D - Alberta
Thank
you so much for blessing us with your music and your presence
and your company. Damn it, I'm speechless. - Don B - Saskatchewan
That is the best rendition of the traditional song 'Siuil
a Run' I have ever heard, bar none! I had chills through many
parts of your show. - Peter L - Dublin, Ireland
Great Concert, amazing guitar playing and beautiful singing.
Thoroughly enjoyable evening. Thank You. - Paul M - Saskatchewan
Thank you. You have a wonderful stage presence and charisma.
- Carmen B - Saskatchewan
Please, please come back to sing for us again. I love the
way you mix the traditional, contemporary and original songs
into a cohesive and delightful evening. - Sean R - Wicklow,
Ireland
