Chris Kavanagh both looks like and sings like the great Luke Kelly. See him in Kilworth July 27.

On January 30th 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, 'A Tribute to Luke Kelly' was launched in Dublin's Hotpress HQ before an audience which included Luke's siblings and relations. As a result of the show's sucess, MCD booked the band for a three month residency at the Olympia theatre which led to a memorable appearance on RTE's Open House.

Ever since, Chris Kavanagh and The Patriots have amazed audiences both at hoem and abroad following powerful sell-out performances in all the major Irish venues - even as far away as Australia.

Lead singer, Chris Kavanagh bears a remarkable resemblance to Luke while his singing talents capture the depth and passion of the great man. He is joined on stage by accomplished musicians who all consider it an honour to bring Luke's memory to the stage in the ultimate tribute to the King of balladeers.

RTE said of the show - "You may find that you have to pinch yourself" and that is certainly true. This will be the band's second time to Kilworth so come out and give them a rousing Kilworth welcome.

'The Legend Of Luke Kelly - Dubliner' comes to Kilworth's Village Arts Centre for one night only on Saturday, July 27. Tickets are now sale at 18euro each from The Avondhu office, Fermoy (025-32227); Hyland's Bookshop, Mitchelstown (025-24528); Cotter's Bar, Kilworth (025-27109 after 5pm) or call 087-6492514.
