“This was a very special evening of music!!” Maryann McTeague Keifer Ireland tonight Radio, Chicago. Writer at Irish music magazine and Irish american news.

“As good an evening as I’ve ever attended ! Artists provoke, move you, make you feel; to steal a Da Vinci line, nothing was lacking, nothing was superfluous. Often symphonic, often mesmeric, always sublime, from opening to closing note. If you attend nothing else this Spring try and catch one of these golden evenings with this exceptionally gifted trinity. Just close your eyes, listen, and be. Take a bow, Maurice Lennon, Ciara Brennan and Chris Dawson ” – Noel O’Grady
