Description

On January 30th 1984 it is said that the whole of Ireland grieved the early death of Dubliner Luke Kelly. He has left an indelible mark as being the greatest folk artist of the 20th Century and his music is widely regarded as one of Ireland's cultural treasures.

Created and performed by the renowned Dublin singer and muti-instrumentalist Chris Kavanagh, this show brings the audience on a journey through Luke’s music and has received rave reviews in Ireland and abroad.

An overwhelming endorsement of authenticity are the huge amount of followers and regular sell-out performances in Ireland’s most prestigious venues such as Vicar Street, the Grand Opera House and the Cork Opera House.

In 2011 Chris was asked by John Sheahan to perform with The Dubliners on their German tour and Luke’s family are still in regular attendance at his Dublin concerts.

This exciting 40th Anniversary Show brings to life that unique atmosphere that made Luke so special and it has even been said by countless audience members that his presence can be felt on stage 40 years on.
