The lyrics a re a cocktail of chaos\, beauty\, philosophy and irrepressible black humou r.\n\nBorn in Dublin and based in Denmark\, McQuaid has been a  professio nal musician since 1979\, performing at countless Clubs\, Schools\, Librar ies\, Art Museums\, Theaters and Festivals all over Europe. He has release d four albums and one C.D. of original songs plus two advanced e-books:\n\ nVALENTINE’S DAYS (containing 29 songs and 29 short movies) hear:  Vale ntine's Day on iTunes\n\nand BIRD WORLD (with audio) hear: Bird World on i Tunes\n\n \;\n\n\n\nHis extended releases of musical fairy tales\, wra pped in songs styled in a staggering multitude of styles\, have garnered c onsiderable press attention.  All the critics agree they are moving\, int elligent\, brilliant:\nOf "Stations in the Sky":  "John McQuaid is one of the best things that's happened to Danish Folk Music. Rock musicians can also learn from him. This Danish-Irishman has got it all: Enthusiasm\, pre sence and a magical ability to make elegance look easy........the whole\, the variations and the details are impressive."   Jyllands Posten\n\nOf "Call it Love: "  ""Call It Love" can best be characterised as a masterpi ece. The numbers are more tales than just normal songs. Amongst them\, the over six minutes long "Prince Of Fools" immediately brought memories to m ind of the 70's Procol Harum - particularly the "A Salty Dog" album. This is not only due to a certain musical similarity but more that since then\, I can't recall having heard something as beautiful as John Buckley's "deb ut"LP "Call It Love."   Amstavisen - Randers\nHis live concerts and appe arances are equally praised by the critics:\n"John Buckley McQuaid was an inspirational experience. His eyes twinkled with life\, his body language the same when he performed his songs - whether he played guitar or keyboar d or was dressed in a splendid old-fashioned Fool's costume like you'd see on a playing-card Joker. One could but surrender oneself to so much inten sity."   Midtjylland Avis\n\n"John McQuaid communicated with his audienc e in the most charming fashion. His dynamic 12-string guitar-playing gave his acoustic Rock music the right drive\, which the audience obviously enj oyed to the full."  Flensborg Avis\n\n\nPlease join us for what is bound to be a magical evening of intimate musical storytelling and sharing songs from the heart.  The donation for this special evening is 10 Euro - but please note there is a Master Class with the artist during the afternoon a t a cost of 20 Euro which INCLUDES a ticket to the evening's concert.  Br inging the cost of each down to 10 Euro - so please consider coming to bot h and spending a magical afternoon-into-evening with this Master storytell er\, musician and visual artist!
