Kris Drever in the BAG

Kris Drever is one of the Scotland’s finest and most prolific songwriters, writes Roy Thompson of the Ballymore Acoustic Gigs. He's coming to Mick Murphy's Bar in Ballymore next Monday 22 October.

His return to Ireland follows his acclaimed If Wishes Were Horses album and awards for BBC Folk Awards Best Singer and Best Original Song.

Much of 2018 has been spent touring playing a best of his career to date set and preparing a new album with Lau. This is a rare chance to see Kris in an intimate concert setting.

Alongside the new material from If Wishes Were Horses, Kris will revisit old songs from across his back catalogue playing many outside of the recording studio for the first time. Fans can get involved by posting, on his Facebook page, old songs they would like to hear; Kris will then pick from those selections.

Support on the night comes from the wonderful John Blek. John is no stranger to BAG, and is one of the finest songwriters on the Irish music scene.

Doors 8:30pm, admission €15.
