Verified profile

I'm an Irish folk singer in a band. I play the button accordion to all Ireland standard. I also play bozoucki too with the band. There is also always another singer/guitar player with the band. Stephen Turnbull is one of them and he has a superb command of guitar with a great ballad voice. He also adds in harmonicas too. Between the 2 of us the craic is always add with audience participation and lots of requests taken for songs during the evening. Depending on the gig we can interchange people to incorporate different instruments like the fiddle, the uillean pipes and low whistles

It was a pleasure to play for ypu Johnathan. We would be happy to play for you again. We all enjoyed it immensely. A nicer group you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere

Dan played at my daughters wake and we were very happy with every aspect, from turning up on time to the professionalism shown, and in particular his performance. As an Irish wake he was even kind enough to let some of the family get up and sing. If he can preform like that at a wake, I should imagine a party we be a riot.
