Galway’s own Led Zeppelin worshippers, No Stairway, will play arguably some of the greatest hard rock and blues ever recorded for an all-ages audience on Saturday, May 18, at 3.30pm.
The Róisín Dubh will host a rare matinee performance of classics including ‘Good Times, Bad Times’, ‘Whole Lotta Love’, ‘Black Dog’, ‘Ramble On’, ‘Immigrant Song’, and of course ‘Stairway To Heaven’. The band delivers spine-tingling renditions of ‘Achilles Last Stand’ and ‘Kashmir’. If it has been a long time since you Rock n' Rolled, then make sure to catch No Stairway on tour.
The band is Steven Sharpe on vocals, guitarist Ronan O’Malley, Shane O’Malley on bass and keys, and John Tierney on drums.
Steven is a devotee of Robert Plant, describing the singer as his “spirit animal”. An energetic and charismatic performer, he has the vocal chops to match Plant’s high notes, passion, sensitivity, and swagger.
It takes a special talent to play like Jimmy Page, but Ronan, a versatile and gifted guitarist, is more than up to the task, with a guitar style that has all the power and energy required to deliver those monumental Zep riffs.
In the multitasking role of John Paul Jones, Shane is the solid centre of the group, keeping things tight and grounded to allow his bandmates roam free.
John, who will be performing that thunderous John Bonham percussion, is the founder of the Rhythm Drum School and has worked as a drummer for 30 years.
The band were founded in 2013, and have toured across Ireland.
