Steafán Hanvey and the Honey Moon Junkies Post-release reviews
Hot Press (Feb 2006)	Steafán Hanvey's debut is a rare delight, a singer-songwriter record which eschews introspection and deals in sparkling, dare I say it, feel-good, melodies.
Daily Ireland (Feb 2006)	Steafán Hanvey has just released his long-awaited album Steafán Hanvey and The Honeymoon Junkies, and if the recent Meteor awards are anything to go by, don't be surprised to see the man himself up there on stage next year receiving a big reward.
Irish Times (Feb 2006)	One of the album's strong points is his voice, which oozes warmth and a confessional charm. A lean, longing collection.

Zeitgeist Ireland (December 2001, Ireland) NEW	This five track EP, independently released by the Downpatrick born, Helsinki based, Hanvey is a neat exercise in laid back acoustic folk pop. (Open a new window)
