Terry Boyle is a singer/songwriter from Dublin, Ireland. With a vast repertoire of Celtic songs, some teary, some cheery, some sing-along and some from the archives, Terry has a song or story for every occasion.

As a songwriter Terry’s style is varied, evolving and always entertaining. Using a variety of tunings and finger-pickings, his songs are both autobiographical and descriptive of both past and present.

Terry looks forward to chatting and singing to you, with you, and, maybe about you or somebody you know.

“Terry Boyle exudes a charm on stage, both within his songs and between them. He is an engaging storyteller, both in the traditional sense and in the musical sense. In one moment, his lyrics bring on an irresistible sing-along, and in the next, they are introspective and relatable. Terry’s technical ability as a guitarist and his humour on stage add to the brilliance of his craft.”
