Navan date for Jack L gig with French theme
One of Ireland's most unique singer-songwriters Jack L makes a welcomed returned visit to Navan. The Kildare songster hosts an exciting Parisian-style show called 'Chez Jack L', a celebration of the late Jacques Brel, in Solstice Arts Centre on Saturday 8th October. Jack L aka Jack Lukeman is one of our most unique and best loved performers. Described as 'a mixture of all the great voices of the 20th century', few can match Jack's award winning powerhouse vocals. His renditions of the songs of Jacques Brel are renowned. In 2004, spurred on by participation in an unreleased documentary on the Belgian crooner, Jack L created a show around the singer, and called it 'Chez Jack L -- Love, Sex, Death & Brel'. The show was a huge hit during its run, justifying a DVD release in 2004. This live DVD marked the beginning of a Jacques Brel tour around Ireland that would see Jack selling out venues for weeks on end. Jack L embarks on another national tour with the show due to popular demand. Solstice is delighted to welcome the singer back to the stage on what will be his third appearance in the arts centre. Jack L also recently performed in front 400 people at Trim Castle as part of the Terrific Trim Arthur's Day celebrations in the town. Tickets are €20/€18 concession and are available from Solstice Arts Centre Box Office on (046) 909 2300 or online at www.solsticeartscentre.ie
