Luke Kelly

Chris Kavanagh’s ‘The Legend of Luke Kelly’ will take place at Mermaid Arts Centre on Saturday, January 12, at 8 p.m.

Dublin singer songwriter Chris Kavanagh was raised on Irish music and has been singing Irish folk songs since he was three years old.

His performances capture the depth and passion of the great man he was so heavily influenced by. Over the past 16 years he has amazed audiences abroad and has sold out prominent Irish venues such as Vicar Street and the Cork Opera House, with the regular attendance of Luke Kelly’s family.

Chris released his own album of original material ‘Voice Of the People’ in 2011 and shortly afterwards performed with the Dubliners for two weeks on their German tour. Tickets are €20 and available at mermaidartscentre.ie.
