REVIEWS
"Genteel harmonies and quiescent aural landscapes/reminiscent of Art Garfunkel during his "Bright Eyes" days/the absolute beauty of a handful of the dozen self-penned songs/Nick Drake would surely smile at the irony of a revival of such delicacy in the maw of the tiger/but McGlynn's strongest hand is the sophistication in his writing particularly on "In Your Eyes", with its Cole Porter romance"
Hot Press Magazine
"The instrumentation in particular is outstanding and McGlynn possesses a voice that does justice to lyrics that are clearly personal"
In Dublin Magazine
"He sings with a clear and very beautiful voice, not far from Art Garfunkel."
Gothenburg Post, Sweden (Live)

David Gemmell

I thought that I'd post a blog about the passing of David Gemmell last weekend. Most of you won't have heard of him. Those who are aware of his work will know why his death has had a huge effect on me...
