- Steven Spielberg
- Russell Crowe
Brothers Eoin and Moley O Súilleabháin are singers and Size2Shoes is their acoustic pop band. The duo present a unique and quirky contemporary Irish sound that deftly mixes rap, vocal percussion and virtuoso guitars with sharp double vocals and a huge dollop of humour. The Size2Shoes experience is, in the main, tongue in cheek, an exercise in fun. Their second album is due for release shortly following on their successful first album Size2Shoes.
Sons of esteemed Irish musicians Dr. Nóirín Ní Riain and Dr. Mícheál ó Súilleabháin, the immense musical heritage of the ó Súilleabháin brothers shines through in the power of the musicianship and their ability to weave stories in song. The brothers have a seemingly effortless ability to grab and hold an audience, leading them through the sublime and hurtling them headlong into the ridiculous.
They have had the opportunity to perform all over the world and in much esteemed company. Size2shoes have recorded with Sinead O'Connor and have performed with The Chieftains, Donal Lunny, Julie Feeney, Brian Kennedy and a host of others. They are also featuring in Steven Spielberg's forthcoming film 'War Horse'.
Size2Shoes are simply good old fashioned entertainment!
