Liam Ó Maonlaí
Liam Ó Maonlaí returns to The All Time Club - always a spiritually uplifting and beautiful musical soul experience!
Liam Ó Maonlaí is one of the most talented, charismatic and soulful performers of Irish traditional music today. But his musical prowess goes beyond his own cultural roots as he blends an eclectic mix of folk, blues, gospel, soul, rock, and more with his amazing vocals and an array of instrumental mastery and curiosity, from piano to whistle, harmonica to bodhrán, guitar and harp. Audience singing and repetition of harmonies or rhythms often forms part of the joyous experience of communing that a gig of Liam's encourages.
Since first bursting onto the scene in the 1980's with his band Hothouse Flowers, Liam has captured the attention of audiences, critics and musicians alike. According to "Rolling Stone Magazine" Bono noted the ensemble were the "best unsigned band on the planet." It is no wonder that Liam remains a "musician's musician" and no surprise he has performed alongside the best of them. As a solo performer as well as frontman of Hothouse Flowers, Liam continues to wow audiences worldwide reinventing himself with each performance and allowing a feeling of benefit to fill the gathering.
