Maguire and Ennis return to Ardboyne

Thomas Maguire, Fhiona Ennis and their band appear at the Ardboyne House Hotel, Navan, on Monday 2nd April. 'The Best Of Thomas Maguire' has just been released to celebrate Thomas' eleventh year in the music business. It encompasses 20 tracks including six previously unreleased songs. The first 14 songs are titles which should be very familiar to Thomas' fan base and draw upon his first two solo albums in conjunction with the follow up three albums recorded with his duetting partner Fhiona Ennis. As well as originals, Thomas covers some tried and tested covers including Willie Nelson's 'If You've Got The Money', Tom T Hall's 'Margie's At The Lincoln Park Inn' and Dolly Parton's 'Let Her Fly'. The six previously unreleased titles include three originals, 'You're Gonna Need Me" from Eamonn McPhilomey together with 'A Fool's Heart' and 'Maisie' from UK songwriting team Gavin Sparks and Kay Shelley. Maguire, who hails from Irvinestown in Co Fermanagh, hit the country music scene in Ireland in October 2000 under the management of Henry McMahon. Previous to that, he had been living in London and performing on the local music scene which culminated in being voted Best Act On The London Circuit at the Irish World Millennium Awards held in the famous Galtymore in February 2000. Eleven years on, Maguire is still touring extensively throughout Ireland and the UK with his duetting partner Fhiona Ennis and their band.
