"By far one of the most intriguing performers at this year’s festival, Tighe performs an absolutely show-stopping set...His soul-searching lyrics and voice combine to staggering effect and he delivers one of the performances of the weekend...As the pre-gig din loses its viscosity Tighe’s voice is as hushed as it is strong and before long the place is enthralled by him... his lyrics are sometimes unsettling but never anything less than remarkable. As far as comparisons go, a stripped back and darker Edwin Collins would be a start, likewise Richard Hawley, but Dylan Tighe should be heard and experienced with an open mind because based on this, the element of surprise is one of his best weapons". (State.ie review of Dylan's appearance at Hard Working Class Heroes Festival - Voted one of the top 25 gigs of the festival)
