The BBC once described ROB HALLIGAN as ?Bruce Springsteen
having English tea with Billy Bragg?. It?s been a good comparison
although you could maybe invite more people along to the party,
as Rob has been compared to Neil Diamond, Martyn Joseph and
John Mayer and many others.
?This is song writing craftsmanship at its best.? R2R Magazine
?Song-writing gold? Maverick Magazine
?Rob was amazing.? Jeremy Vine ? BBC Radio 2
?Skilfully honest lyrics and outstanding musicianship.? CrossRhythms
?His deftly picked acoustic guitar is the perfect accompaniment to the lyrics which resonate with truth? Premier Magazine
A professional musician for over 15 years, Rob is an award-winning singer/songwriter and has toured across the world, gaining a reputation as a passionate and engaging performer.
In 2002 Rob left his ?real job? to pursue music as a profession. With a desire to use music to make a difference, his down to earth faith, honesty and storytelling connects with audiences everywhere and having lived a colourful life, ?his songs and stories pack a powerful punch? (Rock?n?Reel).
The BBC?s Paul Gambaccini commented ?These are some of the strongest songs I have heard?. With live sessions on BBC Radio 2 and numerous television and radio slots, Rob has also performed at some of the UK?s most iconic venues and festivals. He is as at home on stage at the Manchester Apollo or main stage at the Godiva Festival as he is at a local church cafe or folk club. He has toured extensively across the UK as well as shows in Canada, USA, Brazil, Hong Kong and Europe.
After a busy 2019 which included a UK tour, album release and various TV and Radio appearances, 2020 saw the release of Rob?s 13th studio album, ?Always Heading Home?, largely written and recorded during lockdown. It includes guest appearances from Wet Wet Wet?s Graeme Duffin, Ewan Cameron on Whistle and Chris Haigh on fiddle and has received 5 star reviews from the music press. The Always Heading Home tour began in autumn 2021 to sell out shows.
Rob has supported children?s charity, ?Global Care?, visiting Ethiopia, Bangladesh and Lebanon raising awareness and money for some of the worlds most disadvantaged children.
