DUBLINER THE LUKE KELLY STORY

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 90 minute show with multi-vision background throughout brings the audience on a journey through Luke’s music and has received rave reviews in Ireland and abroad.

An overwhelming endorsement of authenticity is the huge amount of followers and regular sell-out performances in Ireland’s most prestigious venues such as The Cork Opera House, the Grand Opera House and Dublin’s Vicar Street which was even attended by President Michael D Higgins & his wife Sabina. In 2011 Chris was asked by John Sheahan to perform with The Dubliners on their German tour and he also made a guest appearance on their 50th Anniversary Dvd and Luke’s family are still in regular attendance at his Dublin concerts. This exciting 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.
