Live Review: Casiotone support. 8/11/2010.
“It is a dark and stormy night – an appropriate beginning for an evening of storytelling; the reason this small but dedicated coterie has cause to gather upstairs in Auntie Annie’s.
We are a wet and somewhat miserable bunch, but sharply dressed local troubadour John D’Arcy appears onstage to alleviate our woe. The Great Bunch of Lads line up have the night off, so D’Arcy comes into his...

Just found a wee review there!
Review of John D’Arcy & The Great Bunch of Lads, Auntie Annies, Belfast (3rd August 2010)
“Having seen John D’Arcy too many times to recount over the years, this reviewer was pleasantly surprised by the man’s new persona with “the Great Bunch Of Lads”. Old songs are reinvigorated and the new songs sound ready to bring John & Co. to the “next...

With soft little love notes - More Like Me - and sweet songs such as Scotty and Pop Tart that are both lyrically sharp and wonderfully observant, it’s clear that it’s...
