What(People are saying)
Irish Music Magazine
"Fiddler Kathy Woods ... subtlety and command of mood captures the essence of Touched by the Sun. Drawdy's theatrical vocals and lyrical bent is of the big emotional kind, half Mick Scott's romanticism, and half Luka Bloom's sensuality ...The band kicks up it's storms with choppy rhythms and air punching acoustic rockers." - Irish Music Magazine, October 2003
City Beat Magazine
"Touched is an excellent showcase for the group's acoustic-based, groove-driven Celtic songs. Tight, fervent performance is key, but of special note is Drawdy's keen songwriting abilities, which capture the mystique of the genre beautifully." - City Beat Magazine, March 2002
Cincinnati Celtic Festival
" The tent sides bulged with fans as Roger Drawdy and The Firestarters brought the audience to their feet with their upbeat performance at the Cincinnati Celtic Music and Cultural Festival. As always, they delivered their originals and standards with great enthusiasm, interacting with the dancing, clapping audience." - Cindy Matyi, Festival Organizer
Dayton Celtic Festival
"The Dayton Celtic Festival was pleased to have Roger Drawdy and The Firestarters perform at our first annual event. Many complementary comments on the band's performances were made in the surveys completed by festival attendees. Their blend of original compositions and traditional pieces provided some of the most attended and enjoyed performances of the 2002 Dayton Celtic Festival weekend." - Bill Russell, Festival Organizer
