I will admit to hearing a few moments of true talent shining through on an otherwise amature and poorly executed recording. Live? well perhaps. Maybe that would explain the many out of tune instruments, a couple out of tune singers and the few cuts that could only be classified as painful! A very disappointing representation of what I know Boston has to offer. Luckily, having visited this and many other fine establisments in the area, I've heard and know better! Other than the few talented souls that allowed themselves to be squandered on this recording, you won't find any gems here folks.

I have heard the songs and tunes on Pub Crawl performed by current members of Hiring Fair (Seth, Brenda, Jono and Tom). This band has more energy than a pack of three year olds high on sugar. Listening to their music guarentees a "fun" night. Brenda's voice is absolutely beautiful especially during her version of summer in Dublin. Seth is one of the most talented bass players I have ever heard and seen. He moves just like a true rocker also. Jono's fingers can move faster than I have ever seen anyone move when he plays some of the fastest jigs and reels (even slip jigs if you're lucky). Great for Irish dancers and wanna be Irish dancers. Tom, is a talented/aggressive guitar player with a truly unique/gorgeous voice. The CD is a must buy especially just to hear this one band!!

Coming from an 18 year old student who has heard and met many of the artists on the "Pub Crawl" CD I can assure you that the tracks can be appreciated by audiences of all ages. Whether you're looking for traditional tunes or original songs, Pub Crawl has it all. Not only are the artists incredibly talented but they are also friendly and funny. Each artist is unique in his/her ability but they all work well together to create a superb blend of Irish/folk tunes.
