In twenty years of career, Perry Rose has pulled off the perfect fusion between Anglo-Saxon pop and the Irish traditional music that fits this redhead’s freckled skin like a glove. A whole universe of simple, beautiful songs, luminous ballads and catchy Irish melodies.

What you see is what you get

With Perry, what you see is what you get. The songs are direct, almost spontaneous. The delivery is sincere, immediate and often fun – even more so on stage. In the past 20-odd years he has played every format: from solo to duos with a string of violinists, acoustic or rock trios, full rock bands, full traditional band and concerts with a choir of 20 children. If that sounds like a lot, it’s not; it’s how you fill your time when you have musical curiosity and spend 20 years on stage. Well, that’s how Perry sees it anyway. If you look at his contemporaries, there are not all that many that have had an audience follow them for 20 years.
