  • One of the big attractions to the audience is his singing voice, humour and the fact he roams around the stage and among the audience while performing. This involves the audience in the party atmosphere he creates.

Reviews

CATHERINE WELSH You were truly amazing at Niall and Shannon's wedding. Everyone saying best wedding ever. Such great fun. How we sang, danced and what a party !!! Incredible atmosphere. I would recommend you to everyone. Thank you Robert x”


PETER KELLY What a great night we had. Even the stag boys stayed till the end. Reports came in about people singing along with us Two hundred yards away way up the road. Great show, thanks a million and I look forward to meet and sing along with you again soon. Peter and the crew at O'Ceallaigh.”

PETER ALLEN Imagine a long-haired fiery Scot in a kilt with both muscats blazing... ... Now imagine the same image with a guitar & a microphone blazing a path of frenzied fun, music & singing that never fails to give everything every time. Your crowd will lap it up & clap it up. A true troubadour in his own right!


GURLI MOLLER NEILSEN A very special experience for us, was when a Sunday in June, for the first time we held a house concert and what a wonderful day it became. We had borrowed a tent and scraped the neighbours and own garden chairs together, and had invites family, friends, neighbours and others, at a concert in the garden. 

Not everyone knew about him already, but we have received incredibly many happy and positive feedbacks. 

Everyone was excited about the music and the amazing atmosphere that he created. It was a huge experience, and it didn't require much. he is highly recommended if someone has a party in mind, and I certainly don't think it's the last time we do it and the guests are ready, I have no doubt about that. 


MENNO SCHILSTRA Always good fun to see him on stage. A good singer and the audience is always engaged and involved. A good variety of songs also.


RICHARD ECKHOFF Our association organizes, among other things, traditional concerts, especially regional music of Low German culture. Scottish and Celtic music corresponds to this program much.   

He gave us with his music insights and impressions into the everyday life of Scottish life. In his ballads, he sang about love, wanderlust, the landscape and the sea.   

He entertained the audience wonderfully, walked through the rows of spectators and encouraged everyone to sing along. The audience felt transported to the Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland and had this beautiful landscape in mind.   

We thank him for this great concert and we look forward to seeing him again in autumn 2020.   


KLASS VIS The last couple of years we had the pleasure of having this Scottish musician on stage. He is a great performer. 

With him in the house, you're sure of having an entertaining afternoon or evening. And the music he's playing is diverse. 

Scottish and Irish folk, but also songs made by himself. We knew him already from concerts he played in our folkclub.

But his solo concerts are also from high quality. So whenever you have the chance to get him on stage in your folkclub, bar or festival.....?! Book this guy! 


STEVEN -CLIENT Brilliant singer! Many thanks for a fantastic night

MARK WAERING Is a natural charmer, has a great voice and delivers many traditional and more contemporary songs with great style. He always has fun on stage, loves to interact with guests and uniquely can always be relied on to read the room so that audiences feel they are part of the experience.  We love having him play for our clients!
