Reviews
They (The Bonny Men) have that drive and swagger, and in piper Maitiú Ó Casaide they have a musician who grabs a tune by the throat and squeezes out every last dance step in your shoes.”
Seán Liffey, Irish Music Magazine
“…and the colourful and exciting pipering of Maitiú Ó Casaide, whose own arrangement and solo performance of three famous traditional tunes..proved a highlight of this highlight-heavy show (RIAN)”
