What the press said in 2003
'Harte cuts an imposing, dominant figure, and is manifestly in possession of that ineffable x-factor most commonly referred to as 'star quality'. Whoever said the Eurovision was a death knell to a serious music career obviously hadn't counted on the emergence of Mickey Harte. The album has been a roaring success. The two subsequent singles to 'We've Got the World' have also cracked the Irish Top 10 single charts. One gets the feeling that Mickey Harte is a name more than a few countries will become familiar with in the years ahead.'
Music Quarterly, The IMRO Magazine, Winter 2003
"Harte's star quality does shine through- he has engagingly sturdy voice and his own compositions, have a certain charm."
In Dublin Magazine, 14 Aug 2003
"In Mickey Harte we have a writer of significant talent, who takes his inspiration from the likes of Rodney Crowell, Ron Sexsmith and Josh Ritter. And if he lacks an eye for lyrical detail, he scores heavily on mining the emotional landscape."
Hotpress Magazine, 14 July 2003
"His self -penned tunes- it has to be admitted are very commendable as he aims to distance himself from the Eurovision and show what he really is made of."
The Galway Advertiser, 31 July 2003
