The Henry Girls in the BAG and Cunninghams next week



The Henry Girls (The McLoughlin sisters) from Donegal, are about to release their new album 'Louder Than Words', writes Roy Thompson of the Ballymore Acoustic Gigs. To promote this fine collection of music and songs, they are embarking on a 13-date Irish tour.

I'm delighted to be hosting two of those dates next Monday and Tuesday, February 24 & 25. Monday's show is in Mick Murphy's Bar, Ballymore Eustace, Co Kildare. Doors open at 8:30pm; showtime is 9:15pm. Admission is €12 at the door. Tuesday's show happens Upstairs at Cunninghams, Kildare Town - www.cunninghamskildare.com. Doors open at 8pm for a 9pm show. Admission is €12 on the door.

Here's what the press said: ‘A full bodied and powerfully dynamic collection..High buoyant vocal harmonies and ebullient instrumental attack make for stellar moments aplenty.’ fRoots Magazine (UK)

‘What gossamer voices came whisping out of our speakers? Who are these lovely voices that bewitch us? The Henry Girls are more like the three Graces: Splendor, Mirth, and Cheer. If indeed there are angels among us, here be them.’ New Folk Radio (UK)

‘…shimmering harmonies…this winsome Irish trio weaves a continuous spell, adorning a fresh sounding and varied set with their beguiling and versatile vocal chemistry’ Roots Music Report (USA).
