The guitar skills of Anto Drennan are widely sought after by such luminaries as Mike & The Mechanics, The Corrs, Clannad, Paul Brady, Moving Hearts etc. His playing in always sympathetic….and dynamic when the need arises.
Eoghan O’Neill is also in the same league. Founding member of Moving Hearts, he also toured with Chris Rea, Riverdance (Musical director), Celtic Woman……he has also played on most of Mick’s albums
Mick provides the stories and songs in his own inimitable style.
As a threesome, they have a well-honed musical empathy and produce a show full of great sounds and lots of entertainment
….a show not to be missed.
