  JOHN SPILLANE  


Saturday May 7 | McHugh’s | 9.00pm
 

A native of Cork and one of the greatest songwriting talents Ireland has produced in many years, CQAF are delighted to invite John up for a rare Belfast visit.

Spillane’s debut album The Wells of the World was one of the best Irish albums of 1997. Christy Moore referred to it as “an undiscovered gem of the 90’s”and covered Spillane’s song Johnny Don’t Go to Ballincollig.

His talents as a musician are only the start of it. It is rare to find a musician who is also such dedicated performer and entertainer. Certainly there is no other singer-songwriter in Ireland who can command such laughter between songs and such attentive silence during them.

John is on the point of releasing his new album Hey Dreamer making this an even more special event as Cork celebrates its Capital of Culture.

Support is provided by the brilliant Finbar Magee whose original songwriting about Belfast and Ireland mark him out as a rare talent.

Tickets £6.00 available from Belfast Welcome Centre on 028 90246609.
