Mark recently visited Switzerland with many other Irish musicians as part of the tour series Songs From Ireland: Old and New, so this return is highly anticipated. Some kind words from that tour:
“… impressed with his charm and within minutes had the audience on his side.” (Schaffhauser Nachrichten 02/02/2015)
“Geary can add or take away from his songs, the result is always good; their transparent simplicity is compelling and the lush harmonies are enough to give you goose bumps..” (Zürcher Oberländer 02/02/2015)
Interview on Radio Zürisee – Switzerland
During his tour of Switzerland, Mark stopped in for a chat and a song with Markus on Radio Zürisee in Rapperswil. Click here to listen!
Switzerland
In just a few weeks, Mark & his guitar will be performing some solo shows in Switzerland for, as he remarks, “Testing new songs etc and boldly going where I have not boldly been before.“ Check out the gigs section of the site for more information. This visit will include a couple of shows for the Grueningen Sessions. Here’s “Fireflies” from Mark’s last visit to the Sessions with Grainne Hunt & Mark Penny.

Ghosts at Harbour Bar
Mark & the band played at the Harbour Bar in Bray back in February. While there, Mark & Gráinne Hunt made this lovely video for the title track of Mark’s 2004 album Ghosts.
