Music legend Johnny McEvoy to perform at two Kildare venues this month

The term 'living legend' is often loosely accredited to  artists in the music business but certainly not when people speak about Johnny McEvoy. Johnny has always been highly acclaimed for the quality of his live concert shows and when his early 2020 tour was announced, it received a huge response from his legion of fans nationwide.

His current live show is called 'A nostalgic evening of Song and Story' and features all of Johnny's hit songs,including Mursheen Durkin, Boston Burgler, Long before your time, Rich man's Garden, Michael Collins etc, many of these songs penned by Johnny himself.

His songs are hauntingly beautiful and  evocative, always presented with an individuality that is unmistakably his own unique style. One can truthfully state that Johnny McEvoy has been one of the most enduring and talented singer songwriters in the folk/ballad genre in Ireland over the past 50 years. His concert performances are second to none and incorporate a brief  but relevant reference to the story of each song.

The lyrical clarity of Johnny's vocals combined with gentle backing from excellent musicians is a joy to listen and  ensure wonderful and joyful evening of 'Song and Story'.

Appearing at the Keadeen Hotel, Newbridge on Friday next, January 10. Tickets €30 at hotel reception, 045 431 666; alternatively pay at the door on the night or purchase from Ticketmaster.

McEvoy appears at Springhill Court Hotel, Kilkenny on January 11 and at the Glenroyal Hotel, Maynooth on Friday, 17 January.
