Subject: RE: Guest singer at the Boston singer's club
Oh, my, words cannot express how magical and enchanting was the spell cast by this very laid-back and unassuming performer...

the two Yeats poems set to music were my favorites...but so much of it was amazing, from the off the cuff poems to the powerfully-rendered Gaelic songs...

Mr. Tyrrell seems at times a rough-hewn, seen-it-all singer, at other times a flawless being come from faery's most sparkling reaches...he deftly melds comic ditties and heart-stopping ballads from one moment to the next... I highly recommend hearing him live if you can manage it. We were infinitely blessed to have him all to ourselves in that small room...

peg, still entranced...
