CRITICALLY acclaimed tribute show 'The Legend of Luke Kelly' will make a welcome return to Armagh's Market Place Theatre, on Saturday, October 11.
Following last year’s sell out performance, early booking is highly recommended.
On January 30, 1984, Ireland mourned the passing of arguably the greatest folk performer of the 20th century. As the lead singer with the internationally renowned Dubliners, the power and passion of the voice of Luke Kelly gave us the definitive versions of numerous all time classics. ‘Raglan Road’, ‘The Town I Love So Well’ and ‘A Song for Ireland’ will forever be associated with the legendary Luke Kelly.
In 2001, the show 'The Legend of Luke Kelly', featuring Chris Kavanagh & The Patriots, was launched at the Hot Press HQ in Dublin. In attendance were many of Luke's family, friends and former musical colleagues. The show proved to be an overwhelming success and the band were booked for what was to become a 'sell out' three month residency at the Olympia Theatre, Dublin.
The show appears at the Market Place on Saturday, October 11 at 8pm. Tickets, £13.50, can be booked by calling the Box Office on 3752 1821 or online via www.marketplacearmagh.com
