Martin Hayes

It was a pleasure to see such a gifted musician from my homeland. Also such a gentleman. I saw Martin a few years in the Edinburgh International festival with his ensemble crew.

Fabulous! Have seen Martin Hayes many times and he never fails to amaze me. An almost trancelike quality to his playing. A bit disappointed that it was finished in 1 hour and 15 minutes but nevertheless still happy.

Thar barr, mar is gnáth. Ceoltóir den scoth 🎶🎻❤️

Fantastic concert! Really worth the drive up from Midleton to UL!!👏👏👏👏👏👏😳

Lovely to get to see the great Mr Hayes. His playing is wonderful, humourful and delicate. He was fun to listen too and I enjoyed his gentle jokes and knowledge. The band with him are very skilled. I went to see the man of course but would perhaps liked to have a wee bit more of the individual diverse sounds of Common Ground. It is years since I was last at BoTW and I like it. What wasn't great was the seating. We were at rear and basically had to contend with a constant flow of people in and out of the gig for bar and toilet all night, plus continuous dropping or kicking over of beer glasses - not good during quiet or moving pieces. I think a bit more calm would have made the experience better. I sensed the crowd were not as fully attentive as they should have been. Why not just wait for a pint until the interval? Please close the bar when the musicians are playing - out of respect to artist and paying audience. Good idea? Seems sense to me. The air conditioning was very draughty and made the place on a mild night almost chilly. Perhaps calm it down a notch in future - it wasn't a rave and not that much heat was being generated! I am not being a moaner - I went for music not chilled beer. Please take note mebbe? Mike D.

Unparalleled!!

Great venue. Extraordinary musician.

Martin Hayes provided an amazing concert in Berryville!

Superb playing, a great mix-up of styles. Exhilarating.
