| | James O'Hara's Detonators - Gig Reviews |
 | | O'Hara is a throwback to the era of a true band leader, exhorting more, or at times less, effort from individuals and cutting off a song with a wave of his hand when they had extracted as much as the music could possibly give. |
 | | To The Highway but the drop was cushioned by the smoky, sexy keyboard of McCormack when that was followed by the revivalist It'll Be Me and Better Watch Yourself on which the hoarse quality of O'Hara's was employed to devastating effect, the mid-song applause became the norm rather than the exception. |
 | | The Detonators took their music seriously but not themselves, O' Hara is a man whose serious demeanour belied a dry, acerbic wit, constantly checking the set list, asking the audience for an opinion before doing precisely what he had planned. |
