Ronan Tynan

This was without a doubt one of the most memorable concerts I've ever attended. The venue was great. So intimate that you felt that he was singing just to you.The concert from beginning to end was Magnificent. Dr. Tynan has the voice of an angel and was kind enough to share his gift with all who were in attendance. This was Dinner theater at it's best.

The show was great but Ronan performed for about an hour. I was expecting a longer show. Dinner was very good.

I saw Ronan Tynan last year when he attended my company's national conference. I loved him and was so happy to see he was coming to Philadelphia. The concert was everything I hoped for (although he didn't sing Allelujah which is my favorite of his). His voice is incredible and he has a great connection with the audience. Lots of funny stories between songs. At the end he signed CD's and took pictures. A lovely, lovely man!

I have seen Ronan Tynan many times before both with the Tenors and by himself. He has a great voice and loves to make fun of himself. This was the first time I have ever seen Andy Cooney. While his voice is not as bold as Ronan's, he can carry a tune! They work very well together and seem to enjoy it. I love when they flubbed the words and had a good laugh over it. The band was great - all very talented in their own right. The Westbury Music Fair (it will always be known as that - and should be!) is a great place to see anyone. It's a very comfortable venue and it feels like you are seeing a show in your living room.

I've been going to see Ronan Tynan at the South Shore Music Circus now for a few years. His voice is incredible, as is his personality! Some people are born to shine and just being in his presence makes everyone around him a bit brighter too!

This was our first time seeing Ronan in person, and his performance was fantastic! We have loved listening to him as one of the Irish Tenors and in solo performance, so we appreciated his voice before the concert; afterward, we couldn't stop talking about his amazing vocal ability and control, his fun personality and the way he joked with the audience. He and his accompanist complement each other perfectly, and there was never a time when the sound system failed to support them. They provided a wonderful array of musical selections, which showcased Ronan's ability to sing ANYthing, from the Irish ballads for which he is so well known and loved, to Broadway, to country, to opera. What boundless range in a joyful soul! Thank you for a superior night of music and celebration of Irish spirit and life!

It was another great performance by Ronan. We have seen him before as a member of the Irish Tenors and individially as well. Well worth the price of admission.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our evening in Hyannis and would go back in a heartbeat. Ronan was wonderful as was his accompanist. Great voice, wonderful little stories in between.

My wife & I have seen Ronan when he was with the Irish Tenors, but this was our first solo show and we could have stayed all night if the concert was that long. Absoloutely fantastic. The show was wonderful.

This was definitely a memorable concert, much of the music gave me the chills. Would love to see him with an orchestra behind him and possibly a female vocalist. The program was the right blend of traditional and contemporary music. His humor although self depricating at times kept a smile on my face. The only down side was the heat in the tent. Was it hot! They should have put the sides to the tent up.

Outstanding event, not to be missed. Great voice..

Ronan Tynan has a very powerful voice. That goes without saying. I bought tickets to hear him sing--Not Bill Lewis. I bought tickets to hear him sing--not tell stories. I guess this will be the last time that I pay to hear him perform.

The performance was exceptional. Ronan gave an outstanding performance for the price that was paid for the ticket. It was the concert was worth the money paid, but I would not pay a large ticket price to attend one of his conerts.

Great show as usual, Ronan could do less talking and more singing

He has an unbelievable voice, and an amazing ability to keep the crowd entertained in between. I went with my mom, and it was really nice to go out with just the two of us. I had a great night!

Fabulous! Wonderful voice and his piano player was terrific as well.

Ronan Tynan can belt out a song. The Melody Tent was about half full. The volume was set for full...much too loud to the point where it was hard to get the lyrics in many songs.

Tynan and his pianist put on a fabulous show. The music was superb and the pitter patter enhanced the evening'/s experience.

His voice was unforgetable. He told many stories, some comical, some were hard to understand , because of the fluctuation in his voice when talking. Perhaps it was the control of the sounds. We missed quite a few of the punch lines, and we were sitting in the second row of our section right behind the sound technician. In this case, it was a disappoiintment, but we were there to hear him sing, so it didn't matter. It was unneeded having the pianist sing...At the intermssion, we moved to a higher spot because of the temperature near the stage and the sound was no better. Ronan himself is wonderful and I would recommend him returning in a different venue.

I knew he could sing but I never knew how funny he was as well. He did a great job. His pianoist not only could play the piano but what a wonderful vioce. They certainly make a great team and I would go see them again.

This was our second time enjoying Ronan Tynan in concert in Buffalo, and we will certainly go again. Thank you Buffalo Sabres Foundation for partnering with him! Just love his self-depricating stories and his voice. Marvelous entertainer.

We enjoyed Ronan Tynan's performance, stories, band, Mave and the banter on stage. This event was worth every penny and we would go again and again.

Ronan was great-he sounded amazing and he was very funny. I liked his guest Maev-she has such a beautiful voice. It was a perfect venue to see these fantastic singers.

Amazing performance. Enjoyed U2 and Springsteen songs, too. Ronan seems genuine and to like Buffalo!

Ronan was so friendly, uplifting and so positive about Buffalo and America. I love his deep voice and sense of humor. We had a book autographed and he was like a cousin; very approachable & real. he should get a key to the city!

This was the second time that I have had the opportunity to see Ronan Tynan in concert. His voice is simply magnificent. I think that he is the best Irish tenor of all time. Maeve was a nice addition to the performance, and the band was outstanding.

What an unforgettable expiernce. Excellant as usual

Great Concert. Beautiful voice. Would see Ronan again Maeve was better that I hoped. Would see maeve again

The night was spectacular. Dr. Tynan's voice is a gift and his musical aptitude enhances his amazing voice. Part way through the 2nd half, an audience member became ill. Dr. Tynan stepped in to assist the very capable nurses and we got to see the human side of him. He is kind, funny, humble and an amazing tenor!

Ronan was amazing as usual. His repetoire gives something for everyone. I was with someone who went not expecting to enjoy the evening. His response - where are we going to hear him the next time? There was an unfortunate event occurring during the concert, someone became ill and 911 had to be called. But, as you would expect, Dr. Tynan was immediately off the stage and at the aid of the individual. Those who are his true fans would expect nothing less of him. True humanitarian with a beautiful God given gift of song.

Ronan is always the best. Even though there was a major distraction shortly after intermission, during which Ronan proved what a compassionate and caring human being he is, the concert was a total success.

A very entertaing and impressive man. Great supporting band and a nice mix of song types. He still has a very powerful voice. Enjoyed the show very much.

Ronan was engaging and covered the music spectrum with a good deal of focus on the Irish. The meal was very good also.

I think I would like to have a little more singing, his voice is magnificent but his interaction with the audience was incredible. He thinks really fast on his feet and comes out with the funniest comments. it was a fabulous show, he didn't just sing. I would see it again in an instant.

The show was exceptional. Ronan Tynan is a superb talent. His voice is astounding, his mental catalogue of Irish (and other) songs is beyond belief. Obviously, his life story (born handicapped, lost his twin, amputee, medical degree and career, singing career) is so far beyond that which most of us would ever dream of is another thing entirely. It informs his brilliant story telling and humor, and is inseparable from his singing. His accompanist, Billy, is an essential part of the show. His piano playing is impeccable, and his singing is surprisingly excellent. He does counterpoint to Tynan, with perfect harmonies delivered with style. A local woman, Pauline (Wells?), sings some nice songs with two terrific guitarists to give Tynan a break and provide a contrast. She is not remotely on the same level, but does a nice job. Tynan is a tad too unctuous with his descriptions of her ("Let's welcome this beautiful lady." about ten times, and the hugging and kissing and "Oh, your husband is here." is a little over the top and unnecessary, and detracts from the quality of the show. When Ronan sings with nuance and feeling, he has no equal. His rendition of "My Old Man" wrenched tears from everyone in the audience. When he simply uses his pipes to overpower a song, it is disappointing. His version of "Danny Boy" is the worst song in the show. He just belts the whole thing. Do not the words, "when soft you tread above me," not require feeling? He too often revels in his power and volume, to the detriment of the music.

Ronan Tynan is an amazing tenor. He is also very funny. He captivated the audience all night long! Patricia Wells was great as well.

If you like Irish tenors. then Ronan Tynan may be your "guy." The base show is Ronan Tynan with his pianist, William (Billy) Lewis. Lewis was excellent and has a terrific voice as well. The only problem was we sat (Wilbur Theater - Boston) at the side about 7 rows back where the amplifiers were booming the tenor's high volume songs directly at us. In hindsight, i would have ordered tickets on the mezzanine level not the floor. if you have seen the Irish Tenors, you would have viewed Tynan in a formal appearance. This was very different as Tynan was very laid back, comical (even irreverent), and presented a very casual appearance. There was a lot of funny conversation between Tynan and Lewis as well as stories from Tynan to the audience. Well worth seeing!

I have never seen Ronan Tynan in concert; and I feel like he is so very talented I expected more. I was not there for the chat or comedy, I was there to see him Sing and we did not get enough of that. We were disappoiinted

Ronan is a consummate professional with such charisma and wit -- he is mesmerizing. He and his pianist, Billy, are the perfect match. You will never be disappointed at any of their performances -- they are truly magical.

We knew the evening would be special when we entered the beautifully Rococo lobby of the St. George Theater and saw the Richmond County bagpipers ready to perform. They were a nice welcome for Ronan Tynan, the Irish tenor with the booming voice. He sang a lovely selection of ballads accompanied by Billy Lewis on the piano. Mr. Lewis himself, has quite a beautiful voice and harmonized with Mr. Tynans on many of the songs, as well as sang a little known Irving Berlin melody about Aesop, the able fable man. After Mr. Tynan's set, Judy Collins performed many favorites while bantering about her youth and how she got to where she is today. She could still hit the high notes and her voice got stronger as her set went on.

Enjoyed listening to Ronan. Could have listened even longer. Enjoyed stories introducing songs. Seemed comments were more spontaneous than in other of his concerts we attended. Very gracious and personable in offering to stay and sign purchases and momentos and meeting guests afterwards. Judy Collins a bit high pitched and shrieky in tone. But stories are entertaining. Pipers were seemingly rehearsing in hall, and we were all looking forward to them marching in at some point. But that never happened. If they were not part of the show, it was a tease to have them there. Would have hung around to listen to them if we had known we wouldn't see them later.

We had a wonderful time . Ronan's song selection was outstanding. We really enjoyed the orchestra, particularly the main cadre of musicians. Ronan was also kind enough to sign CD's and memorabilia for his fans after the show. In addition your staff at the Box Office was superb. Really NICE people. Kudos.It was a memorable night. I'd love to see him at your venue again.

my husband and I loved this concert. Dr. Tynan was fantastic, charming, and smooth. We drove to harrah's in atlantic city just for this event and it was so worth it. Highly recommended.

Ronan Tynan was absolutely wonderful - I didn't realize he was such a showman - told some jokes, shred some stories and gave alot of background about the songs he sang.

I have always loved Ronan Tynan and this was my first opportunity to see him in person. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!!!

The venue & staff was great! The show - exactly what one would find in a cruise ship lounge. If you know the act & WANT to see it, then you think it's great. But, for everyone else, it's just another act. I will say he puts his heart & soul into his songs and there is variety with three other unknown singers. Additionally, the 6 key musicians are worth the fee & the back-up orchestra pulled off one practice very well.

The show was entertaining and refreshing. Ronan has a great sense of humor and really enjoys performing. His voice is one of the best I've ever heard, truly amazing. Would definitely attend and of his shows. Nice tribute to the Boston Fire Department.

I have been to numerous Ronan Tynan shows and cruises and the was truly the best one ever. Ronan's voice was superb and his contact with the audience and the other performers was unbelievable. It was like having being at home with the performers. The firemen were great, especially Jimmy Hoar and the guitar player (sorry, I can't remember his name). Ronan seemed like he was having the time of his life and it crossed over to the audience. Bugsy, Bill and Jimmy were great as always. More Ronan like this, especially in Boston. It looks like Ronan has found a new home!! It really was wonderful. I brought 8 family members with me as a Christmas gift and they were all blown away as well!

Ronan put on another great show. I could listen to him all day. He has so much energy and he is so funny. So glad to have him in Boston. Would love to see him at Fenway and the Pops concert for the 4th. Nobody sings God Bless America like him.

With booming notes one minute and soft melotones the next, Ronan Tynan is THE BEST Irish tenor ever. Each song he delivered was truely heart felt and his accompaning band were amazing.

Several of the songs gave me the chills. Very powerful and sung with a lot of emotion. I also like the fact that Ronan spends some time talking to his audience and familiarizing them a bit more with his amazing life.

I bought the tickets for my husband because he likes Irish music. It turns out that I think I enjoyed the concert even more than my husband. Ronan's show was so engaging and the his vocials are superb. His stories, his jokes and the way he embraced his band and the audience was heartfelt. Boston is the luckiest city to have Ronan Tynan call it home. I will never miss a live performance and a special thanks to all the firefights that appear that evening. The guirtarist really rocked out. I also loved the piano player I would love a CD of his music. The whole afternoon/evening was a great experience. Thanks Ronan for making it happen.

Ronan Tynan was a phenomenal performer. His voice with all of the different notes that he could sing was amazing. The songs he chose to sing were heart warming, tear jerking, and spirited. He has a gift not only for singing but for bringing joy to others. He praised the police officers and firefighters for their dedication to protecting us as he shared the stage with talented individuals from both departments. Ronan's genuine interest in the gifts that others have to offer is what shone through at his performance at the Wilbur Theater. He is humble man with a great sense of humor, who is passionate about his work. We are happy to have his wonderful presence in Boston.

This show blew me away. I have seen him twice before and he was great both times but this show was just amazing. His powerful voice singing "Allelujah, Into the Fire and the new song written by Jimmy Kelly all brought me to tears. I LOVED that he had the Boston fire dept. acapella band sing with him. I will continue to see him in concert every chance I get. Awesome show.

Great show. Much better than I expected. Ronan appeared to enjoy his singing. He really wanted to be there. I liked the tribute to the Fire Department and having them sing. The concert was over three hours and I hated to have it end.

Fantastic performance!!!! Best show we have seen in ages!

I have seen Ronan Three times and this was far the best show I have seen. He did a lot of different kinds of music. great mix, can't wait to see him again. Ronan sings with such passion the hair on my neck stands up and when he sang "old Man" he had a lot of tears in the crowd. Great tribute to the boston fireman

Excellent variety of music was covered by Tynan and his musicians! All the "good stuff" was covered to quote Kenny Chesney lyric. What a wonderful opportunity for BFD group!

Your great personal approach to good music and local talent was fantastic. The Firefighters was a nice touch. Your recognition of the work they do was respectful. The true beauty added by Mrs Wells was the best. ... The music selections were excellent. The talent behind you, (all the band members) an amazing mix. Fantastic talents.

good mix of irish tunes, a good amount of jazz and some show tunes.

In this present world of destruction, war and violence, to have the privilege of sitting in a theater and listening to Dr. Tynan's voice and wisdom is a true GIFT. It has been two days and I am still thinking about it and trying to bring back every moment. His aura and his voice are truly soul lifting.

This was the first time I had ever heard Andy Cooney. He was great and his band was a group of the most talented musicians you could possibly ask for. I was very impressed with Andy Coohey's strong voice and range. This was a fabulous show. Ronan Tynan's voice is a gift from God. Backed by Andy Cooney's band he put on an awesome performance. I could not have enjoyed an evening more.
