In a very crowded market, it’s hard for independent Irish singer-songwriters to get their work reviewed, but one person who has been doing great work in helping to plug the gap is Liam Oragh. Liam is a talented singer-songwriter himself but he also has a real gift for writing, and you’ll find loads of well-crafted and insightful reviews if you check out his excellent blog.

He’s just reviewed my album An Irish Life. It’s a very positive review, which is great in itself – but what’s even more pleasing to me is that he has absolutely nailed what I was trying to put across in the songs. Have a read and you’ll see what I mean.
