Reviews

"The Days of Abundance" voted Celtic Music Magazines's #1 of Top 10 CD's

"The Barley Boys were AWESOME at The Celtic Classic. Crowd response was overwhelming. They played to a packed house at each performance; the energy level was amazing! The musicianship was excellent; any one who books this band will not be disappointed by any means"
-Gregory Cunningham, President, Celtic Cultural Alliance, Bethlehem PA

"What a great experience we had working with The Barley Boys in Philadelphia! A healthy respect for their Irish roots! Good music and good fun!"
-Paul Moore, Blackthorn

"The complexity of much of the music on "Days of Abundance" makes it exciting to listen to. You really get the sense that these guys are all about the music, but they aren't afraid to have a bit of fun either."
- Catherine L. Tully. Celtic Music Magazine

"The Barley Boys are sure to take the Celtic Community by storm; a very talented bunch of lads that know what it takes to get a crowd excited. Watch out for these boys!"
- Graham Wright. The Glengarry Bhoys

"The band approaches the 15 songs ("It*s a Long Drive From Ireland!") with power, pleasure and enthusiasm. Where the Barley Boys stand out is with their utterly professional approach and commitment; they know how to play and sing"
- Jamie O*Brien. The Irish Edition

"An up and coming, rip-roaring Irish-American band!"
- Mary O'Kane. The Irish Show, WTMR Radio

"It's a Long Drive from Ireland" - is a lighthearted romp through Irish, American, and even some Canadian folk music. It begins with a bang and it ends with a bang with nary a whimper in the middle.... Well, make no mistake, this makes for great listening* these songs hold up the tail end of the album with good singing, good musicianship, and all-around good fun"
- Tom Rooney and Fran Johnson, The Irish American.

"One of the hottest bands on the circuit; non-stop excitement, a talented group!"
-Gus Koslor, Hunter Mountain Festival, Hunter, NY

"Their tight sound, quick switches, and upbeat attitude are a credit to their years of playing. What better way to recover from a weekend of cover bands than with some traditional, good-time, original Irish music. Good for the soul.
-John Hirce, The Sandpaper

"The Band approaches their songs with power, pleasure, and enthusiasm. Where The Barley Boys stand out is their  utterly professional approach and commitment. They know how to play and sing."
-James O'Brien, The Irish Editon
