Live Review: Gretchen Peters, The Venue, Ratoath Feb 27th

It's a Wednesday night in a small intimate venue just a short drive from my house in Ratoath and I'm at the first night of Gretchen Peters UK & Irish tour and it's as blissful and charming as gigs go.

Gretchen was supported by fellow Nashville resident from Northern Ireland, Ben Glover who won the crowd over with his set of well written tunes. He has a lovely pure voice and the quality of his set especially the two new songs hint at great things to come from Ben Glover.

Assisted by husband Barry Walsh and multi-instrumentalist Christine Bougie, Gretchen Peters charmed the audience with new songs from the 2012 album 'Hello Cruel World' along with well known tracks from her back catalogue. I suppose the best compliment to bestow onto Gretchen Peters on the first date of her tour is that the onstage unit was so tight you'd never guess there could have been those first night 'jitters'.

Album Review: Pearse McGloughlin & Nocturnes - In Movement

'In Movement' is the second album from Sligo's Pearse McGloughlin. It's an album I've been reviewing in my mind for weeks and after numerous listens I'm able to write this review.

The first thing to clear up is that 'In Movement' is a grower of an album. On first listen there were two standout tracks [Bright Star & Morning Mist] and as time moves on other gems come to the forefront. For instance my favourite song is 'The Lonely Track' which is an 'Iron & Wine' sounding epic folk song with dark overtones and subtly texture. In isolation it's a great song but for some reason struggles to shine while listening to the album as a whole. Another fine tune is charming 'Temps Perdu' with the glorious sounds of autoharp, piano and double bass.
