'Don't miss this spectacular performance of Irish music with a difference! One of the most talented and versatile musicians of his generation....' IRISH EXAMINER
The Liam O'Connor performance is a spectacular explosion of music, song and dance rooted in the Irish music tradition. A spellbinding display of raw energy, passion and melodic genius. Liam O'Connor is an internationally renowned musician of 20 instruments and his spirit will swiftly sweep across your soul as the enchanting melodies are executed from his 'fastest fingers in the world' (Guinness Book of Records 2008).
Words like 'innovator' are overused these days but Liam O'Connor is definitely an innovator. Words like supremely talented, master musician, versatile are, likewise thrown around with an alarming degree of ease, but Liam O'Connor is still all these things. None of these words come close to painting a complete picture because none describe the pure passion and excitement and feeling that Liam O'Connor brings to a performance.... and in the end that's the word that describes him best - Liam O'Connor is first, last and always a performer.
