Ireland’s premier Led Zeppelin tribute band, No Stairway, will play two shows in Róisín Dubh next Saturday - the first at 3:30pm is open to all ages, and the second is at 8.30pm, adults only. You can expect to hear some of the greatest hard rock and blues songs ever recorded.
Based in Galway, the talented No Stairway have a true love of this music and recreate Zeppelin’s live presence and studio albums as faithfully as possible. On vocals is Steven Sharpe, who is a devotee of Robert Plant, describing the singer as his “spirit animal”. An energetic and charismatic performer, Sharpe has the vocal chops to match Plant’s high notes, passion, sensitivity, and swagger.
Ronan O'Malley is on guitar. 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.
On bass & keys is Shane O'Malley, who is 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.
Bringing the beat, John Tierney will be performing that thunderous John Bonham percussion. Tierney is the founder of the Rhythm Drum School and has worked as a drummer for 30 years.
No Stairway were founded in 2013 and in the decade since have been giving audiences in venues across Ireland something they never thought they would hear - Led Zeppelin’s music performed live and on stage.
No Stairway delivers a show where passion and precision are the hallmarks of their performances. At any show expect to hear such classics as ‘Good Times, Bad Times’, ‘Whole Lotta Love’, ‘Black Dog’, ‘Ramble On’, ‘Immigrant Song’, and of course ‘Stairway To Heaven’.
No Stairway will play in Róisín Dubh next Saturday, May 27 at 3:30pm (kids welcome ) and 8pm.
