What Folks are Saying about Corkery Road

"I had so much fun at the party, I can not remember ever having a better time! The band was terrific, and you are all such nice people, it really added to the celebration, and made the party special! Please thank everyone for me! We had so much fun we might do this every year!"
-- Sharon

"I took the day off so I could come to Valley Heritage Radio to listen to you guys, and it was worth it."
-- Heather Coffey, member of the live studio audience at Valley Hertiage Radio

"Thanks for the beautiful melodic music, as it echoed into our hearts and took us, if just for a moment, to your land of rhythm and soul."
-- a client of the Ottawa Mission

"We have enjoyed your CD so much and had it playing over and over in the car as we drove around Ireland and it has now been put onto the ipod as well. Thank you so much for that it was and is wonderful."
-- Bunbury, Western Australia

"Many thanks to Charlie, Jennifer, John and Gordon,
I cannot imagine a better way to celebrate combination retirements and birthdays. Whether 6 months old or 87, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. You arrived as talented musicians and left as friends (we hope) who share our love of music. The magic was wonderful."
-- In an email from a satisfied client--

"I've just finished listening to your new CD, "I Rowed Up in a Dory" --wowee-wow-wow, it's excellent!-- A great mixture of pathos ["Fields of Athenry"] and humour ["Donald, Where's Your Trousers"]. The best $15 I've spent in a long time! And I'll sure be playing your CD until it wears out. Thanks for a great listening experience.
-- Maureen McVey

"Listening to your Corkery Road tunes thru my pc speakers - just fantastic! It's interesting to pick up the Nth American influence on your sound - very subtle, hard to explain - just slightly different to the way I've heard tunes played/sung here in Australia. You seem like a nice bunch of people."
-- In an email from a man in Australia in October 2008.

-- from an organizer of the Art of Being Green, July 2008.

"The four of you were so in tune with the party and caught the mood of the happy group with your rollicking and sometimes very dramatic music and wonderful vocals....All our guests had very good things to say about you....Next time I plan a party you folks will be on the top of my list for a night. Thanks for making [X's] 65th really special.
-- from the man who hired us for his wife's 65th birthday party on July 5, 2008.

-- from the Volunteer Services Assistant regarding our volunteer performance at The Ottawa Mission's volunteer appreciation social -- April 2008

"Thank you so much for your participation in our Irish Ceili night here at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites....Once the night came together we know that without your fantastic music we would not have been able to pull it off. From accompanying the Irish dancers to striking up the room in a sing along, it completed our night and gave that real "Kitchen Party" feel that we wanted for our guests. [....]
