Renowned singer-songwriter John Spillane to perform in Westport

As part of this year's Westival (Westport Music and Arts Festival) programme, running from October 23 to 28, John Spillane performs on Friday, October 25, at 8pm in Westport Town Hall Theatre. 

John is a musician, songwriter, performer, recording artist, storyteller, poet and dreamer. Rooted in people, place and story, his music transports the listener and his live performances captivate audiences around the world. 

As an artist, his music appeals to listeners across many genres and generations. His vocal style has a unique almost sean-nós like quality and his performances shimmer with the magic realism that permeates many of his songs as he effortlessly flits between beautiful poetry tinged with melancholy to roguish, irreverent humour. John has the ability to charm, mesmerise and entertain in equal measure.

Tickets are available directly from the theatre on www.westporttheatre.com or by calling 098-28459.
