Mick Ryan
voc, GB
Singer of Folk
MICK RYAN is well known on the folk scene as a fine singer of traditional and original songs He was described by "Folk Roots" as 'definitely the most underrated singer in the country.' Having written both comic and serious material for the very poular band "Crows" in the 1980's, he has since written for radio and a series of highly successful folk musicals: 'A Tollpuddle Man' (with Graham Moore); 'A Day's Work' ; 'The Voyage'; 'Tanks for the Memory' and, recently, 'The Navvy's Wife.' The reviews say it all: 'Mick Ryan's words and music are superb' ("Folk on Tap"); 'wonderful songs' ("South Tipp Today"). His duo with Paul Downes has been similarly well received: 'Positively oozes skill and professionalism' ("Folk North West"); 'The singing, as we have come to expect from Mick Ryan, utterly superb' ("Shreds and Patches").
