Dublin born and bred Irish Celtic folksinger/guitarist/bodhran-bones player - in the style of The Dubliners, The Pogues, Christie Moore-covering classic and contemporary songs/stories of all facets of Irish history-rebellion, struggle, emigration, love of country, love songs, home, family, funny-celebrating Ireland's unique Celtic cultural contribution to the USA.
I can't recommend Syl highly enough. He played an amazing tribute at my father's celebration of life. Not only is he a talented musician, but he was kind, easy to work with with, flexible, and made the day a perfect one to honor my father's memory. Thank you Syl!
Response from Syl Heeney-Irish Folksinger/Guitarist:
It was an absolute pleasure to share the day with Dan, and his family and friends to celebrate his father's life. The memories and stories they shared brought much laughter and some tears (but mostly laughter), a life well-lived leaving a beautiful legacy.
May his soul rest in peace by God's right hand, and may you all meet again someday in the great hereafter, God's Blessings to you all,
Thank you Dan

The Loughlin family and friends were one of the best if not the best group of people I've had the pleasure of spending Saint Patrick's Day with. Generous, welcoming, thoughtful hosts. Great representatives of Irishness in the United States, they made me proud to be Irish.
