John Blek in the BAG tonight

John Blek is live in Mick Murphy's in Ballymore tonight, writes Roy Thompson of the Ballymore Acoustic Gigs.

He releases his third solo album — 'Catharsis Vol.1' — on 6 October, and is touring it now in advance of it's official release. It is the third solo album from the Cork-based songwriter.

Best known for his work with his band the Rats, John has begun a new journey influenced by the folk music of Ireland, Britain and the US. With his solo work, he delves into the world of finger style guitar and reveals the deeply personal and poignant lyrical aspects of his character.

John has been developing a committed following, and making quite a name for himself as one of Ireland's finest young singer/songwriters, and has impressed BAG regulars with each visit to Mick Murphy's.

Doors: 8:30pm; Admission: €12. Coming next: Niall Connolly - Monday, 25 September.
