Flamenco in the BAG

Next Monday, Oct 22, we have a fanstastic lineup, writes Roy Thompson of the Ballymore Acoustic Gigs

The show will be opened by Grammy Nominated Spanish Flamenco guitarist, Cano (Juan Antonio Suarez), who is in Ireland for the 2nd Dublin Flamenco Festival and is looking for opportunities to spread the beauty of Flamenco music. Cano will be on stage at 9pm sharp - don't miss him- this guy is the real deal!

Main act is Irish singer/songwriter Ben Reel. Ben is one of the hardest working acts on the circuit and over the last 10 years has built a strong underground following both at home and across Europe. Recently, he has also been working with the likes of Hal Ketchum in Nashville. Mixing Roots/rock, and contemporary Folk, he has a fine alternative/indie sound; meaningful songs, strong on melody, and very well delivered. Highly recommended.

Show opens at 9pm sharp, Mick Murphy's. Usual terms and conditions (pay a few bob to support the acts, and enjoy the night).
