Ruirteach Blues received two amazing reviews last weekend. Couldn't be happier with the feedback being received so far!! #RuirteachBlues "Perhaps, unsurprisingly, we're sorely lacking good blues artists in Ireland, historically we've had very few, but David King is a worthy man to be flying the flag and Ruirteach Blues is a must for Irish blues fans." Full Album Review by Remy Connelly (thebestofmusicandfilm) - 28.02.2015 "Throughout the album you can hear David’s love for folk too, his song writing and some of the guitar parts show the beauty of his musical depth that intertwine this album into a wonderfully fabricated delight. But when the blues kick in they are delta dirty, played with the fingers of a thousand memories influencing them." Full Album Review by Bobby Green, Musician.ie - 28.02.2015

"Ruirteach" is a word used by the Celts to describe the River Liffey. Its meaning is "raging" or "tumultuous" River and I like to think it describes the crazy chaotic beauty of Dublin and our country. Lets hope the next part of my life is a nice slow meandering river :)
