Edisons in the BAG

On Monday night we welcome Edisons to Mick Murphy's, writes Roy Thompson of the Ballymore Acoustic Gigs.On the night Edisons will appear as a two-piece — Peter Fagan and Fran King; both on vocal and guitars.

Some of you will have seen Edisons in Mick's previously, as part of the triple header with Fiach Moriarty, and The Young Folk. Well, they've recently released their debut album, 'Little Bohemia'. It's a collection of original songs charting the life, love, and death of the infamous US gangster John Dillinger. Dillinger's last stand was made at the Little Bohemia resort in Wisconsin.

I cannot recommend this act highly enough; well crafted songs here, that are expertly realised. The richness of the lead vocals from Pete Fagan, with beautiful harmony lines from Fran King, sung over deft guitar work from both, adds up to the complete package.

Doors as usual are 8:30pm, and admission is the usual €12.
