Back by popular demand, Pat Abernethy and Dave
Marsden return to their Irish roots for this intimate, musical evening – Pat
from Belfast and Dave from Dublin. You can expect some well-known songs, some
you may never have heard of, but they will all reflect the Irish spirit in its
many forms; nostalgia, romance, emigration, politics, sentimentality, loss,
regret, humour. The songs have all been selected because they say something
that resonates with Pat and Dave musically and lyrically.
Between songs you will also be regaled with
stories from their days in Ireland throughout the years. The song selection
will include those either written or sung by the likes of Paul Brady, Tommy
Makem, The Furey Brothers, Christy Moore, Thomas Moore, Brian Kennedy,
Bagatelle, Pete St. John, Shane McGowan, Phil Coulter, Mary Black, Jimmy
MacCarthy, Van Morrison, Val Doonican, Richard Thompson, Dolores Keane, Christie
Hennessy, Horslips, Johnny McEvoy, and many more.
