"A precise, poetic lyricist with real depth, tremendous sense of place and a strong hint of darkness; a singer with a unique voice which sounds full of conviction and absolutely convincing." Tom Morton
"His writing sits confidently in a contemporary roots-pop vein . . . Strong melodies and memorable choruses . . . unafraid to tackle big subjects." Sue Wilson, The Scotsman

Recent recordingsDuring 2020's Coronavirus lockdowns, Malachy recorded several songs with friends in Shetland. These songs were gradually pieced together at long distance, as each musician recorded (and filmed) their own parts at home.
