The music itself is accessible and original. It combines the lyrical intelligence of Paul Simon, Morrisey or Cat Stevens – with pop sensibility and driving, world-music energy. During a gig, the music shifts seamlessly from delicate acoustic numbers to rhythmic anthems - Chris Ward swapping guitar for saxophone and African drum in the process!
With talented musical friends Eddie McGroarty (percussion) and Aideen
Hughes (cello), Chris Ward provides a live show of real variety, quality
and charisma. A hidden gem on the Irish music scene -
Chris and his band are truly ones to watch! |
