Legendary Irish Guitarist plays Ballymore

It may look like a headline designed merely to catch the eye, but it happens to be factual.

This Monday, October 17, The Ballymore Inn will be graced by Ed Deane and his Band. To some the name may not mean much, but when you look at his musical pedigree, you know that you've heard his playing and been impressed.

Ed's background is in Blues and he is also an accomplished classical guitarist, but it is the former style and rock that brought him to prominence in the 1970s through his work with Skid Row (with Gary Moore).

Since then he has played with The Woods Band, Atcha Band, Dana Gillespie Band and others.

He played the Slide and Acoustic Guitars on the soundtrack of the movie "Leaving Las Vegas" and has recorded with Shane McGowan and The Popes and on Chris Jagger's album "Channel Fever".

This is a guitarist with true pedigree, he is one of our own and commands respect from audiences and fellow musicians alike wherever he goes.

And he's coming to Ballymore. Why don't you come too and hear for yourself this great talent in the intimate surroundings of The Ballymore Inn on Monday night?

Hope to see you there.
