Throughout his life, Reynolds demonstrated an entrepreneurial flair and transformed Ireland's festival scene. In recent years he stepped away from EP, but worked on Forbidden Fruit, Vinyl and All Together Now. Before his segway into concert promotion, he worked in the nightclub scene running the POD and Red Box clubs on Dublin's Harcourt Street. Reynolds was a native of Co. Longford and a nephew of the former Fianna Fáil Taoiseach, Albert Reynolds. He also co-managed Boyzone during the nascent stages of their career. This year was the first of new festival, All Together Now at Curraghmore House, Co Waterford which Reynolds launched through his promotions company POD.

Hard to take in the news tonight of the passing of John Reynolds. A true giant of Irish Music, he shaped many of our best loved festivals and music venues and raised the bar for live music. Deepest sympathies to all his family and friends.

Our thoughts are with John's family at this time. May he rest in peace.Very sad to hear about John Reynolds. He changed the game for festivals here. I did my first gigs in Dublin in the Pod for him & Martin Thomas (RIP), and he asked me to play a huge show with Destinys Child and later the EP & more recently All together now. May he Rest In Peace
