"Critical songs with good melodies.  The Irishman Dennis Dennehy enthused his audience"

"....the Ruined Castle Lichteneck offered the right flair for a Saturday night... The guitar concert brought more people than expected..."

"The songs, all own compositions are as different as the people are.  Some are melancholic and sad, some upbeat fast and happy go lucky songs. He confounded with a couple paradoxes between content and melody - Dennehy explained he loved to play some critical songs with easy to listen to melodies."

"Some of the audience were initially surprised that no Irish traditional songs were played, someone actually bought his Bagpipe with him, just in case.  But they were all surprised at the great variety of sounds, which Dennehy managed to entice out of his guitars."

"The stories he tells in his songs deal mainly with day to day topics.  Some were experienced by himself, others were inspired by friends and people he met."  They deal with a deeply felt life philosophy."

"... during the break the music gave a lot to think about like themes such as the destroying of environment.  Sometimes he spoke during the songs about the double meaning of some of his texts and critical pieces and the stories behind them."

"Whether it was in 'Did you ever' or Sunny days and moonlit nights', Dennis Dennehy managed to carry over the atmosphere of his songs to his public.. Everyone braced their ears when suddenly a long instrumental piece vibrated Indian (Asian) type sounds throughout the hall, which almost bought a meditative touch, but did not disrupt the atmosphere at all"
