I had been looking forward for some time to seeing this show and after my recent conversation with John Sheahan, the last surviving member of the original Dubliners, I was even more excited. The show, the brainchild of John and another musical legend, Phil Coulter (the Musical Director), is produced by John's daughter, Ceoladh and directed by Maurice Sweeney and recreates the sights and sounds of The Dubliners as they were in the 1960's and early 1970's. The musicians, handpicked by John and...

A few years ago, my good friend, Ged Graham, had the idea to put together a musical which would combine Irish folk music, song and dance with the well known songs of the Christmas season.  The result was "Fairytale Of New York" and it was a great pleasure to see it for the third time at the Wycombe Swan. My wife and daughter (who actually works at the theatre) attended with me and we all enjoyed an evening of singing and clapping along to familiar and much loved songs of both genres, as...

Sir Cliff Richard has been a huge influence in my life, both musically and personally and I was really looking forward to this show. Jimmy Jermain sings, looks and even speaks like Cliff (he was even educated at the same school) , as he takes us through the many years and the varied performances of Cliff's career. From the early rock 'n roll era, through the Swinging Sixties, Eurovision and the following decades, we experience the breadth of Cliff's talent and ability to sing and interpret so...

It was a great pleasure recently to have a telephone chat with John Sheahan, the last surviving original member of the legendary Irish folk group, The Dubliners.  I had met John in person on the group's 40th and 50th anniversary tours and our conversation this time consisted of sharing anecdotes, stories and even, poetry, as we reminisced about the halcyon days of "The Dubs" and our memories of them.  This year, we are being treated to a reminder of those days in "The Dubliners...

Ever since I was a boy, I have been familiar with the sound of the Everly Brothers and their combination of plaintive ballads (often dealing with the heartbreak of broken relationships) and more uptempo songs with rock 'n roll and country influences. The voices of Don and Phil blended beautifully to create a distinctive sound that was instantly recognisable.  In "Walk Right Back," James Hudson as Don and Luke Wilson as Phil, have managed to beautifully recreate those vocal sounds,...

As a resident of the Walsall area, I am always keen to support the arts locally and I have to say that the Walsall Operatic Society's production of Sister Act at Lichfield Garrick was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. From start to finish, it captured the essence of the story and combined excellent singing with acting which combined the humorous with the serious.  There were many fine performances, both solo and choral, but special mention must be made of Montana Mayo, as Deloris Van...

Every August, I look forward to covering the Pairc Festival, Birmingham's annual celebration of Irish music and culture. As always, there was a great atmosphere as the crowds descended upon King's Heath and it was great to catch up with old friends and to make new ones.  This year's line up contained a wide variety of artists and this was exemplified by the top of the bill performers, with the contrast of Riverdance on the first night and Bob Geldof on the second.  The music on both...
