EVENTS: Dubliner: The Luke Kelly Story is coming to Tipperary in March 2025

The powerful and thoughtfully put together show of Dubliner: The Luke Kelly Story by Chris Kavanagh is set to embark on a nationwide tour throughout the spring of 2025. Tickets available now.

On January 30, 1984, it is said the whole of Dublin grieved the early death of Dubliner Luke Kelly. He has left an indelible mark as being the greatest folk artist of the twentieth Century and his music regarded as one of Ireland’s cultural treasures.

Created and performed by the renowned Dublin singer and multi-instrumentalist Chris Kavanagh, this 90 minute with multi-vision background throughout brings the audience on a journey through Luke’s music and has received rave reviews in Ireland abroad.

An overwhelming endorsement of authenticity is the huge amount of followers and regular sell-out performances in Ireland’s prestigious venues such as Cork Opera House, the Grand Opera House, and Dublin’s Vicar Street which was even attended by 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 and he has 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 even has even been said by countless audience members that his presence can be felt on stage 40 years on.

The tour will come to The Source Arts Centre in Thurles on March 15.
