Ooohhh so joyous to hear someone simply speaking their own language of music with all the gorgeous resonance of telling a story of a whole life with a single instrument in a single sitting. This just makes me HAPPY. Thank you!

This is the best I've ever seen a harp played. Rhythm and melody coming together so well.

Hi Michael...Declan sent this to me yesterday.....his exact words..."He is head and shoulders above the rest...its still an old fashioned thing in style. He is making it modern in sound". Declan always admired your playing.

Hi folks, Michael has a visual impairment, like the 18th century harpist, Turlough O'Carolan.... Michael, you're an absolutely amazing harpist! There are no words to describe how beautiful your playing is.... you're a star!!!! Bless you! Lots of love, Vicky :-)) Xxxx

I remember you playing during the summerschools in the nineties of the last century. Was it Drumshanbo ? You had a very nice frisky way of accompanying with rythmic slapping your strings in moments of exaultating !

Great to see non-saccharine music played on the harp. Very well played. May have to try a harp.

Is a typical Irish reel and jig in a modal scale? And the ornamentation on one string is that done with three ‘plucks’?

I think Ireland has the greatest number of megalithic monuments in all of Europe! The best known: NEWGRANGE was built some 500 years before the pyramids of Giza and more than 1,000 years before Stonehenge but there are many other wonderful sites especially along the Boyne Valley.
