The Legend of Luke Kelly at Cork Opera House

Dublin singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Chris Kavanagh was born and raised on Irish music and has been singing Irish folk songs since he was three years old. He learned to play the piano by ear when he was five and his love and passion for Luke Kelly's music led him to learn to play the 5 string long neck banjo in 2001.

Over the past twelve years he has amazed audiences following powerful sell-out performances in prominent Irish venues with the regular attendance of Luke Kelly's family.

He has also toured this show abroad in England, Switzerland, Germany and Australia.

Chris bears a remarkable resemblance to Luke, while his singing talents capture the depth and passion of the great man. At this 30th anniversary show,Chris is joined on stage by other accomplished musicians and very special guests who all consider it an honour to bring Luke's memory to the stage in this ultimate tribute to the King of Balladeers.
