SOME REVIEWS
The Gannet's Dive, Fergal Scahill & Ryan Molloy
"...Along with extraordinary musicality, this album exudes a palpable sense of fun. Here are two musicians at ease in each other’s company, sitting back and kicking into sets of tunes that make light work of the complexity of what actually unfolds, belying the depth of experience they bring to the table..."

The Gannet's Dive, Fergal Scahill & Ryan Molloy
"...The Gannet’s Dive is a high-octane collection of lovely music and virtuoso musicianship. Scahill and Molloy are extremely sharp: the brilliant fluency in Scahill’s playing blends easily with the framing and harmonic textures Molloy comes up with. This combination results in several great tracks and gives the album a range of moods that allow the character-filled playing to shine. Definitely recommended!"
Daniel Neely, The Irish Echo [...read more]
"...good tunes given a new lease of life, and where the interplay between the instruments is most remarkable. Here, the tunes are never given the chance to be boring; The Bucks in particular is full of dirty tricks and smile-inducing turns – a magnificent set. The album finishes with a poignant Táimse ‘Im Chodladh, with haunting fiddle and shimmery piano. A masterpiece from start to finish..."

pianophony, Ryan Molloy
"...As rich in its variety of emotion as it is in Molloy’s technical ability, pianophony allows each strand of his talents as an accompanist, a composer and as a soloist to shine. As a whole, this album blends to create a contemporary exemplar of the piano in Irish traditional music with Molloy’s understanding of the potential of traditional and contemporary synthesis shining through..."

pianophony, Ryan Molloy
"...breathtaking; this man doesn’t just play the piano, he works magic with it. From luscious slow airs like The Wounded Huzzar to a set of cheeky little Hop Jigs, through some of the most exquisite songs sung by Shauna Mullin from Donegal, Ryan instinctively knows what each piece needs – always inventive and unerringly interesting, but never going too far in his quest for excellence. The album [is] an absolute winner..."

Tempered, Ryan Molloy & Various Artists
"...Ryan Molloy’s album Tempered, featuring five excellent Irish pipers, is a pretty amazing display of both musical prowess and the enduring force of Irish music.The masterful playing of everybody involved is a joy in itself, but just as much of the album’s impact comes from the arrangements that breathe new and original life into the tunes. There’s something completely appealing and also playful about the way these musicians approach this material..."
