Ger Wolfe in the BAG

Ger Wolfe returns to Mick Murphy's in Ballymore Eustace on Monday 13 October, writes Roy Thompson of the Ballymore Acoustic Gigs. Doors open at 8.30pm. Admission is €12 at the door.

Ger Wolfe is one of the finest Irish singer/songwriters of his generation - and I don't say that lightly. A master lyricist and poet, he captures the beauty and joy in ordinary scenes of human existence, and transforms them into the remarkable.

A gentle tenderness, and sense of wonder underpin Ger Wolfe's writing - evocative images abound, throughout. A folk musician of considerable depth and breadth of ability, Ger Wolfe - Live is a memorable experience; weaving a tapestry of his words and melodies, the listener is drawn into the weave, there to reside, wrapped in golden yarn, until gently cast off back into the night air at show's end.

It can change you; it can uplift you, and reaffirm your hope that there is beauty to be found out there.
