Ismay's Dream Album Reviews

"almost like a musical version of James Joyce's Dubliners, this is an album of well-written songs which is bound to appeal to those with an interest in the Titanic". Shelley Rainey Bright Young Folk

"In Ismay's Dream he has created a world peopled by complex Irish characters and I look forward to seeing the live show". Aidan O’Hara Irish Music Magazine.

"Padraig Lalor is set to become one of the foremost folk singer/songwriters of his generation". Alison O' Riordan Irish Post

"All the songs reveal Lalor’s gift as a storyteller, with intriguing lyrics woven around instantly appealing melodies that stick in the mind after just one hearing". Pat Kehoe Irish Music Forever

"All are amazing stories put into song by Padraig Lalor and his band. I found this album and its content very moving". Peter Massey Green Man Review

"Lalor's band combines the foundation of rock with the tradition of folk music and his songs are literate but direct: sometimes dramatic - "Molly Brown" for example - and sometimes melancholy as with "Close your eyes" on which Lowri Evans takes the lead". R2
