Owen Lewis of Folk Roots Magazine UK wrote of their gig in Shrewsbury on 19th March as …..

” At last a theatre show that has come out of Ireland without the dross that usually follows. We saw no green Guinness, no leprechauns and no tricolor wigs; instead we got six incredibly talented and delightful musicians who simply wanted to bring the sound of Ireland without the ludicrous plasticity that so many of the drunken onlookers lining the streets of every Patrick’s Day procession, think that Irish culture is about.
Such is the Irish House Party. A band reminiscent of the Chieftains, the House Party was alive with the sounds of Uilleann pipes, Bodhran, Whistles and Flutes, Harp and the strings department provided some inspired Banjo and Guitar work.
Between them they conjured up images of the cliff tops of Kerry, the rocky roads of Mullingar, the characters of the Dublin pubs and all served up in such tight and exciting music. Each note was a jewel, each beat urging the observer to jump up and grab the nearest partner and whirl a handsome jig. The music was infectious and entered the psyche in seconds.
The unique selling point is there are no pretensions amongst this highly approachable and highly entertaining band. Without all the ballyhoo that people wrongly associate with Irish music we saw players who will I am sure make as much of a mark on Irish music as the greats that have gone before.
Ireland is alive with incredibly talented musicians, in every county there are players who will, rather like these guys, very earnestly, play something utterly amazing for you. Not to look good, but simply because the spirit of the music is in them and to try and confine it would be impossible. Well The Irish House Party is made up of those kinds of players and the musicality just oozes out of every number. I think the beautiful Irish dancer stole a few hearts in the audience. This reviewer’s for one!
Not afraid of incorporating contemporary songs such as U2’s, Where the streets Have No Name, and Dougie Maclean’s, Caledonia, the two 50 minutes sets had the audience spellbound as they deliciously served out note after perfect note. This is the first tour over in the UK for the Party and if they can continue to raise the craic to ninety, I can only imagine we will see so much more of them on the British Folk Scene and so we should. ”
