Amazing!

Syl was perfect irish music entertainment for our son's baptism. Very professional and he has a super extensive list of Irish music and honored all of our requests throughout the afternoon. Would definitely recommend Syl to anyone looking for music for their event and hope to find another occasion to hire him in the near future. Thank you Syl!

Syl led a good show

It is somewhat impossible to import a live Irish pub experience into a Brooklyn apartment, if you want the real thing you have to go to Ireland. But Syl did a great job playing a couple of requests but mostly introducing us to a bunch of tunes we'd never heard before. He was punctual, prepared and we even learned a few things.

Branan and Sharon were the most generous and gracious of hosts. The pleasure was all mine. All the best to Sharon on her birthday, and wishing her many more to come.
