    Old Men In Hats


Music Player web

About Old Men In Hats:
From rhythmic cuts that will get your toes tapping (Rosemary Bailey) to John's engaging vocal nuances on stellar ballads (Ringsend Rose, Old Man), and boosted by several pre-eminent Irish musicians to include: band member Mick Redmond (well crafted mandolin and banjo influences throughout), accordion and whistle accompaniments by Brian Doyle, driving bodhran beats from Peter Walker (check out Maggie), world champion Irish piper Larry Cullen, and the talented tin whistler Tommy Breen (of Boru and Fenian Folk) contributing a fine solo instrumental (The Bog Down In The Valley O'), this album delivers magical vocal and musical performances.
The title track "Old Men In Hats" (an incredible lyrical contribution from fellow Wicklow man Terry Kavanagh) truly puts you there, in that place that as the song says: "feels like heaven to me."

His voice, a gravely, deep, sexy sound; very similar to Ronnie Drew, grabbed my attention right away. His arrangements are excellent and cover titles such as ‘Raglan Road’, ‘Easy & Slow’, ‘Black is The Colour’ along with nine other traditional songs and one, self penned ‘You Will Go’. For sure John Breen has a really good sound that should be in your music library. He was signed to Atlanta Music Group’s ‘Alternative-Urban Records January 2004. Website… Continue
