Reviews
"O'Regan and Ward have teamed up as 'Holler n Duck' to bring Britain the best comic/performance duo since Flanders and Swan. Their witty English humour and comedic timing is complimented by talented musicianship and superior performance skills. 'Holler n Duck' will have you wiping away tears while rolling in the aisle with laughter."
- Lauren Victoria, Tour Manager & Agent, LJB Artist Management
"Kevin has a fine way with words and the songs are well-written, covering a wide range of topics ... the real highlight for me is track 8, Your Aching Heart, where Pete Zorn’s amazing saxophone playing is worth the price of the album on its own!"
- Graham Hobbs, Reviewer, Shire Folk
"...If talent is enough to get you where you want to be, then Kevin O'Regan has a very good chance of getting there."
- John Sear, Reviewer, Four Shires Magazine
"I have great admiration for Kevin's spare and thoughtful lyrics, the way the whole thing’s set up instrumentally."
- Nick Burbridge, Reviewer, McDermott’s Two Hours
"O'Regan has gathered a fine supporting cast who add further light and shade to his tales of everyday beauty, joy and sadness ... It remains, however, very much O'Regan's album on which he proves himself to be a writer and performer worth looking out for."

What promoters and audiences say
Thank you so much for making our evening so enjoyable; everyone loved it. Not only did it help to sell tickets, it just made the evening and we made £1200 which was amazing. Angie, Croughton Church Nov 2016
The Kevins (Kevin O'Regan and Kevin Ward) had the audience alternately enthralled and amused and sometimes both. Their return in October 2017 is already arranged. Phil Benson, Atherstone Folk Club.
It really is for me to say a massive thank you to you and the band for a fantastic performance! You are certainly regarded as one of the highlights of the weekend and you went down a storm at both the boaters party and on the festival day. Everyone loved you and Katie was a great addition on Sunday. What a talented lady. Don’t worry about the wooden board; she was worth it. Love Julie (Newbury Waterways Festival July 2016)
We saw you at Bloxham Steam rally and my daughter danced to your songs in the beer tent. She still today sings The Frampton Men. Love the Band, see you again, John, Rachel and Erin
Thanks for doing a great job last night...so glad you were there to give the audience a great evening. Ned Lawton, The Rufus Centre
You guys were awesome! Sally Wileman.
Just wanted to thank you and the band for your fantastic performance on Saturday night and the tremendous effort on Sunday with all the odds stacked against you! We really did enjoy the music and were so sorry the weather was so horrendous. Julie Dean Newbury Waterways Festival
Both my partner Scott and I thoroughly enjoyed your set and thought you all mesh very well together as musicians. We always appreciate good live music. We have put your name out there with all the musicians we know who will be checking out your website etc and I have shared your page on Facebook. Katie Hanna
Just a quick note to thank you and your colleagues for your entertainment on Saturday evening. Many of our colleagues in AWCC have commented most favourably on your performance - and indeed most of them have seen and heard you at successive Crick Shows. Jean Robinson AWCC Boat Rally
A big thank you to you and the band for a fab afternoon of great music!!! Looking forward to the next one in September. Sharron Marriott-Lodge Longs Inn Woburn
