From Christy Moore to Miriam O'Callaghan at Garlow Cross

Following his hugely successful gig at Tara Rocks!, Liam Byrne returns to Tara Na Rí on Sunday 30th October to play a few Christy songs and entertain the crowd with his hilarious story telling. If you hadn't seen the word 'Tribute' on the posters outside the venue you'd swear it was the man himself! He has the look, the voice, the guitar, the eyes, the black vest, the songs, the humour, the stories, the bodhran, the intensity of the singing, coupled with the fury of the strumming, mother of God he even sweats like him! And the hair is none too plentiful either! Liam is a native of County Wexford. He first took up the guitar aged 12 but packed it in after three weeks only to take it up once again when he was 18, never again to put it down. In 2001, Liam took on the persona of one of Irelands greatest ever solo performers, and began to tour a show entitled 'Ordinary Man - A Tribute To Christy Moore'. Liam's uncanny resemblance to the Kildare troubadour and his love for Christy's vast repertoire of songs made the show an instant success nationwide. The following year, he brought his show across the Atlantic Ocean to the USA playing in venues in New York, Boston and Chicago. The tour was a great success and on the foot of this Liam has returned twice since. Byrne is one of only a few acts that can successfully manage to marry original songs to classic covers in his live set. He continues to write and perform and in early 2009 recorded his third studio album entitled 'No Ordinary Man', and enjoyed a radio hit in Ireland with his song 'The Ballad Of Miriam O'Callaghan'. There is no cover charge on the night and Tara Na Rí will be planning some Halloween festivities too to make it a great night out. Show starts at 9pm.
