Jim Barnes is a vibrant, entertaining performer. His rich baritone is a delight to listen to and the variety of his performance, either on six or twelve string guitar, mandolin or banjo, means that the audience, whatever the age, will surely be entertained. Jim is a first rate Irish singer, brogue and all, in the style of the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem and can also perform the music of the great folk singers of bygone days or present his own original folk songs with verve and style, leaving his audience to laugh, cry or shout with joy. As a singer, songwriter and storyteller, Jim Barnes is a true wonder!

• Jim was great. If you want Irish music, book Jim. Plain and simple. Very satisified with the evening. A very funny storyteller also. -- John W, Nashua, NH, 12/10/2011
• Jim made my father's 70th birthday party a hit! He came prepared with all of my father's favorite Irish songs and a few of his own. He told great stories and kept the crowd upbeat and entertained the whole time. My father said it was the best birthday present ever. Jim was friendly, talented and professional. We would recommend Jim and would be hire him again the the future. You cannot go wrong with Jim Barnes. We were so pleased! Thank you Jim for a fantastic night! -- Jeff P, Quechee, VT, 7/23/2011

• Jim played at our annual St. Patrick's Day Party at our home. Jim arrived early to set up and left after he was set up. He came back and was ready to entertain. He is a wonderful musician and a enjoyable story teller. Our guest really enjoyed Jim and I would recommend him to friends. -- James O, Marlborough, MA, 3/12/2011
