Buddy and Melissa in the BAG

American singer/songwriter Buddy Mondlock has been a regular visitor to Ireland for many years and invariably visits Ballymore Eustace on his tours, writes Roy Thompson.

Over the years artists such as Nanci Griffith, Joan Baez, Janis Ian and Garth Brooks have all recorded Buddy’s songs, while writing, recording and touring collaborations with artists such as Art Garfunkel have helped bring him to a wider audience and garnered him international critical acclaim.

Now Buddy’s back with a new solo recording, hitting the road performing and leading songwriting workshops, and of course, writing songs. Cause that’s what he does and that’s who he is.

Singer/songwriter Melissa Greener, picking a guitar and singing her truth, offers songs which are exquisitely crafted portraits of the human condition. Melodic, rhythmic and quirky, they captivate with dynamic ranges and moody tones, in a unique language all her own.

Buddy Mondlock and Melissa Greener appear as a double header at Mick Murphy’s, Ballymore Eustace on MONDAY, October 10. Gig starts 9pm sharp. €12 on the door.
