Album Review - Clancy's Irish Music Radio
Among the many, many fine bands playing Irish folk music right now,
Cherish the Ladies are unique in being an all girl band. They also have
that touch of magic that marks the really great from the merely very good.
This album is bloody marvellous. It is fresh, joyful, vital and celebratory. It is the best music I've heard in a long time....
These ladies are definitely to be cherished.

Hotpress - Vol 25 No 12 - 4 July 2001
...The male supporting cast - for that is what the title signifies - reads like an honour roll of international folk music,
with performers such as Liam Clancy, Paddy Reilly and Brian Kennedy linking up with the likes of Pete Seeger,
Arlo Guthrie and Tom Chapin in the pursuit of excellence.
With such a line-up you can be assured that there are real standouts.
One of these has to be Luka Bloom's reading of I'll Walk Beside You. I listened to this yesterday
in a sweltering traffic jam and found myself smiling idiotically at a young lady who tried to remove my offside
wing without my consent!...

Gig Review - Clancy's Irish Music Radio
CHERISH THE LADIES - LIVE IN DUBLIN
...an adoring Dublin audience who gave them a rapturous welcome at their gig in The Shelter on Thurs 28th June.
They were joined onstage by many of the big name guests featured on their current album - Liam Clancy, Matt Molloy,
Liam O'Flynn, John Shehan and Paddy Reilly who got the biggest applause of the night for his singing of 'The Bold Fenian Men'.....
Despite the sound engineer's over use of reverb on occasions, the sound for the most part was good. Instrumentals
dominated the proceedings and the playing was sparkling and celebratory. But for me one of the highlights
was the gorgeous harmony singing in their a cappella rendition of the old John McCormac song
I'll Walk Beside You...
