Testimonials

John Waters - Journalist

Patrick O’Byrne has delved back into the past, into the bardic tradition of the middle-ages and the Brehon era of Irish ways and laws, lacing his ruminations with songs of the same vintage, some of which we know without (mostly) knowing where they come from. He performed a stunning version of Fainne Geal An Lae, the air borrowed by Patrick Kavanagh for On Raglan Road, which would have stuck Luke Kelly to his seat, and a bilingual version of the song we know nowadays as Carrickfergus, most memorably rendered by the great Bryan Ferry.
