Press Reviews

On Gavin Bryars:
"... The music of Gavin Bryars falls under no category. It is … full of sensuality and wit and is deeply moving. He is one of the few composers who can put slapstick and primal emotion alongside each other. He allows you to witness new wonders in the sounds around you by approaching them from a completely new angle. With a third ear maybe. . ."
- Michael Ondaatje, Author of The English Patient 

On Iarla Ó’Lionáird: 
" a staggering mélange of light and shade, thoroughly mesmerising, ever-challenging to the senses and emotions and establishes Iarla Ó Lionaird as one of the most innovative forces in modern music." 
- Songlines Magazine 

On Anáil Dé - The Breath Of God:
"Ó Lionáird... accompanied by double bass and electric guitar, was a perfect collaboration. The audience, who had been following the practice of not clapping between movements, broke into spontaneous, vigorous applause."
- Journal of Music in Ireland
