Since the celebrated release of his solo album FLY in 2015 he has steadily gone from strength to strength as a singer / songwriter / live performer. After a very successful 2016 on the live circuit around the UK and Ireland including festival and theater dates Gary will be building on the momentum and rewards of his hard work and taking his music further afield. Booking from the end of February 2017 onwards – with Scotland gigs planned in April and returning to Ireland as well in 2017 please contact as soon as possible to confirm bookings.

‘It may be the experience of working both solo and with bands, but the new material appears in the form of a variety of songs and arrangements in styles showing he has a few strings to his bow…there’s more to Gary O’Dea than a voice and a guitar.’ 8/10 Michael Ainscoe – Louder Than War Review http://louderthanwar.com/gary-odea-fly-album-review/

‘deftly written songs and beautifully rounded instrumental presentation’…I felt the record had ended all too soon.’ Maurice Hope – Flying Shoes Review / The Medicine Show

‘Some people make it look all to easy and that’s the impression across O’Dea’s latest album FLY as he relaxes into a set of tunes that are catchy and compelling in equal parts…O’Dea’s acoustic guitar and vocals display a directness and honesty that draws the listener into the heart of each song.’ Trevor Taggatt – R2 (Rock n Reel) 4**** Nov / Dec 2015.

‘one of the best albums of 2015. Gary joins the major league, a very good album indeed that would stand alongside anybody’s that’s been released this year, heartily, heartily recommend it.’  – Roots and Branches Show – Radio 879 Shropshire 11-10-15 Steve Morrishttps://www.mixcloud.com/…/roots-and-branches-no-34-radio-…/
