Sons of the Tundra

Eugene Byrne is first and foremost an entertainer. During his long career he has worn various performing hats, but in every guise, he remained, an entertainer.

Show business is not new to Eugene Byrne. He came to North America for the first time in 1967, playing Carnegie Hall, Madison, Square Garden, and a coast to coast tour of Canada and the USA with the Irish Rovers. Later he became entertainment manager for Harp and Bard Inc., a chain of Irish Pubs in the Boston area, and subsequently took over Harp and Bard productions which represented Tommy Makem. He still works with Tommy every now and again at Irish Festivals in the summer, concerts, cruises, and co hosted a few trips to Ireland with him.

Eugene Byrne’s act is good, polished and professional. His performance is music and laughs, life and carousing, enthusiasm and careful consideration of a poignant lyric.

Eugene Byrne is at his best in front of a live audience, and the key to his success is the pleasant and warm feeling he can generate in an audience.
