Luke Kelly Tribute Act in Nenagh Arts Centre

On January 30, 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.

The Luke Kelly Story is an authentic show, celebrating the life and songs of Ireland’s most iconic folk singer. Created by Chris Kavanagh, the show graces the Nenagh Arts Centre stage at 8pm, on Saturday, November 22. Tickets are selling for €28-30 and are available for purchase now from nenagharts.com

This exciting show, presented by Chris Kavanagh & The Patriots, brings to life the unique atmosphere that made Luke Kelly so special. It has even been said by countless audience members that Luke’s presence can be felt on stage 40 years on.

An overwhelming endorsement of authenticity is the huge number 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 former President Michael D Higgins and his wife Sabina.

In 2011, Chris was asked by John Sheahan to perform with The Dubliners on their German tour. He also made a guest appearance on their 50th anniversary DVD.

Created and performed by the renowned Dublin singer and multi-instrumentalist Chris Kavanagh, this 2 hour 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.
