"The latest Irish music phenomenon Crystal Swing opened up their home town and their hearts to us recently when they spoke about their meteoric rise to fame, coping with stardom - especially since their appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show in the US - and dealing with the begrudgers! They are a wonderful family, warm and courteous and so very talented – I’ll bet we will be seeing a lot more of them on both sides of the Atlantic".
