Shay, Michael and Martin Black are members of Ireland's foremost family of song. Their work has been described by critics as "exquisite", "exhilarating" and "nothing short of stunning".

"Their voices and musicianship were superb - the energy just kept on coming! The good reviews keep coming in. We would always welcome them back to Marin Theatre Company."
Ellie Mednick, Marin Theater Company Artistic Director (December 2008)

The brothers are regarded amongst the finest and most popular singers in Ireland. They are noted for their strong voices: Shay's is robust and hearty, Michael's a thrilling tenor, and Martin is known for his deep-chested counter harmonies. Their solos and close harmonies display an unalloyed joy in singing.
