Gavin Ghee: A tribute to Nick Drake and Shane MacGowan
Thursday 30th May, 8pm
On the 50th anniversary of the tragic death of legendary singer-songwriter Nick Drake, Tullamore-based singer/songwriter Gavin Ghee performs Drake’s classic final album “Pink Moon” live and in full.
Originally released in 1972, “Pink Moon” mainly features only NIck Drake’s voice and intricate guitar work.The album is roughly half an hour long and will constitute the first half of the show.
The second half of the show will be a tribute to Shane McGowan. Gavin Ghee will perform thirteen classic McGowan songs given a one-man band treatment. This will entail interpretations using guitar, vocals, harmonica and bass drum.
This is a rare opportunity to see the work of two great, but very different songwriters performed on the same night by a unique local performer.
