THE GOO live reviews - Ireland Music Week - echo northstar - "Workman’s for a stacked line up with
echo northstar opening proceedings. I had been hearing great mumblings about this guy and boy, did he deliver. Whether it was at the piano or holding a guitar, the quality of the music and melody was on point, delivering a set that belied his age. The arrangements were superbly crafted and his voice, well, I’ve never heard an angel sing and I never will but this must be the sound that poets and playwrights have alluded to over the last few millenia. Watch this guy fly". John Brereton. editor THE GOO.

Hot press - Whelan’s Ones to Watch 2025
“Back on the main stage was indie echo northstar - performance felt like a well-oiled machine, with each independent component serving to enhance the lead singer’s clear prowess. His vocals were truly remarkable and beautifully delicate. As I listened, I couldn't help but think of Thom Yorke’s unique voice. Fans of Radiohead should definitely check this band out, particularly their songs ‘waking up’ and ‘creatures.’

London’s So Young Magazine;
“Irish songwriter echo northstar returns from an ethereal horizon, carrying with him the haunting beauty of his new single, ‘creatures’. It’s the tender ache of love slipping through fingers—a bittersweet reflection on what was and what could have been”.
