Critical songs packed in easy melodies. The Irishman Dennis Dennehy enthused this audience in the castle cellar, which was a good ambient for the concert. The Castle Ruin Lichteneck gave the right flair on a Saturday night for the Irish Singer/Songwriter Dennis Dennehy. The guitar concert drew more people than expected in the cozy cellar….
The stories in his songs talk of everyday happenings. Some he experienced himself; others were inspired by people he met….
…. the songs composed by Dennehy himself sound as different as people are. Sometimes melancholic and sad, others fast and happy. A couple of pieces startled with the paradox between content and melody, and he explained he rather takes a liking to critical songs and catchy melodies….
… everyone was amazed at the variety of sounds….
The music gives cause for reflection and concern on topics sich as destroying of the environment. Between his songs he spoke a few clear words regarding the double meaning of critical songs and the stories behind them.
Whether
it was “Did You Ever” or “Sunny Days and Moonlit Nights”, Dennis dennehy
managed to convey and carry over the feeling in his songs to the audience.
Their ears became attentive when a long instrumental sounded reminiscent
of Indian music echoed throughout the cellar, and the almost meditative
atmosphere did nothing to disturb the evening.

Glimpse Into Motion is Dennis Dennehy’s title for his concerts. His aim is to give the audience a ‘glimpse’ into all kinds of ‘motion’ that can be found in anything from cells, atoms, electrons, inter-personal relationships or spirituality with his own compositions. He took the audience into his world of philosophy. Love and problem-awareness in the Schweinfurter Club ‘DisHarmonie’.
The composer and singer/songwriter Dennehy knows how to communicate his many aspects of his attitude to life with his three left handed guitars. In particular the philosophical influences in life can be recognized in the instrumental compositions. There is often a sound of Indian music to be heard (his modified guitar sounds somewhat like a Sitar. Dennehy has a great interest in the Indian teaching of Kriya Yoga, even Rock and Pop flashes every now and again out of his guitar compositions. He can’t deny his Irish-British background as soon as he accompanies his guitar with text and one feels the flair of an Irish pub.
It
is not possible to conform the composer to any one music style.
His stand points to controversial topics such as problems and joys of
every day life. He is critical of
the political rightist movement in Germany, the misuse of drugs and alcohol, and
is concerned with the phenomenon of ‘turning a blind eye’ as in the song
“The Things we Forgot to Say”. Even
the different emotional facets of Love are found in detail in songs such as
“Travelling Afar” or “Gustav’s Kiss”.
Dennehy packs all these nudges for our thought process in easy melodies
such as “Don’t Go” which, as so often a real ‘Catchy’ song, could
easily become a hit. This Irish
Brit bought up as an Irish Catholic, with the likeable calm character, processes
his own experiences in his music. With
this type of honesty it is easy to understand the audiences enthusiasm that
visibly enjoyed the concert. – Christoph
