  • Finally a bit of truth about the Donnellys. They were not what they have be made to be by those looking for sensationalism and money. The Donnellys were good people but like any of those times they would not be ill done by or disrespected. It was a different time. But the politics and the religioius sectarianism and the jealousy and greed still exists in the area. Family ties both old and new are thicker than blood.

  • should put the rollin pleddler up to.

  • Thanks....J. Donnelly

  • We saw the show and were in awe of the research and talent that went into putting this together. We learned so much about the Donnellys and the injustices that led to their being demonized so often in literature. We have the CD and often listen to it in the car, where there are no interruptions. Thanks, Hector and crew. We'd love to see the show again. My God, you were all fantastic. - Bev (Farrell) and Dave Renny

  • Love it, Love it, Love it! Full of energy, emotion and life. Got the CD and every time I listen I find it more compelling. Great playing, great singing and great songs. The narration ties the events of the story together perfectly. And what a story it is. I sure wish I could see them live! Awesome!
