Loudest Whisper biography
A band that has consistently produced fine and passionate music over the years and captured the imagination of collectors world wide' Record Collector. Jan 1999.

Today roots music is the preferred choice of discerning listeners from New York to Newmarket. But the modern music lover requires something more than just traditional Folk.
They demand a rare blend that is three parts folk, two parts country blues and two parts melodic contemporary rock, all shaken up with a dash of classic songwriting.

For those connoisseurs in the know, this cocktail is known as a 'Loudest Whisper' and it is high time that this delicious brew was widely enjoyed worldwide. Of course there is nothing trendy or opportunistic about the music of Loudest Whisper.

Far from it. Like a fine vintage, the Loudest Whisper sound has been fermenting since 1973, when Brian O'Reilly wrote his acclaimed Celtic musical 'The Children of Lir'. Yet it is only now that public taste has matured to the point where the richness and dept of Loudest Whisper's music may be appreciated universally.

Over the years, members have come and gone, each adding his or her unique flavour to classic albums like "The Children of Lir"(1975) "Loudest Whisper"(1980), "Hard Times"(1982) and "The Collection" (1991).
Little wonder, then, that rare originals of these albums command anything up to £1000 among die hard collectors.
