Gallie is a critically acclaimed songwriter from Ireland. His album 'The Occoquan River' has made it to a number of Best of the year lists from radio and press in both the US, Ireland and Australia. Gallie is a natural raconteur who's performances have been getting rave reviews over the past year, "One of the outstanding releases of the year...'The Occoquan River is brilliant." Paul Gough, The Inside Sleeve, ABC, Radio National.

Gallie's shows are like no other, he has the capacity to reach a large audience on a one to one level and make a large room seem like a small venue, due to the warmth that he brings through his songs and story telling. The stories are sometimes comical, sometimes tragic but the delivery is always from the heart. His songwriting speaks for itself with critics hailing his album 'The Occoquan River' in their top albums of the year. Gallie has been drawing large crowds and selling out shows over the last year and has been a favourite at a number of festivals.
