On the 30th of January, 1984, it is said that the whole
of Dublin grieved the early death of Luke Kelly. He has left
an indelible mark as being the greatest folk artist of the 20th
century.
In October 2001, the show 'A Tribute To Luke Kelly'
was launched in Dublin's Hotpress HQ before an audience which
included Luke's family and friends. The show proved to be a
huge success and the band were booked for a three month residency
at the Olympia Theatre, Dublin, and have since continued to
amaze audiences following powerful performances in many prominent
Irish venues. The band also made a memorable appearance on RTE
television and a fantastic 'live' session on Eamon Dunphy's
radio show - The Last Word. Lead singer, Chris
Kavanagh, bears a remarkable resemblance to Luke
while his singing talent captures the depth and the passion
of this folk icon. He is joined on stage by accomplished musicians
who all consider it an honour to bring Luke's memory back to
the stage....and to be the first to do so...this is a show not
to be missed.
