Berry, who turned 81 last October, will play The Grill in Letterkenny on March 24 and the Chapters will be warming up the crowd on the night.

Although he hasn't released a studio album since 1979's Rockit, Berry continues to tour his extensive back catalogue and his huge influence over rock'n'roll songwriting, sound and performance ensures he always has a receptive audience.

Elsewhere, The Chapters have also secured support slots with Cathy Davey (February 18, 19 & 20 in Cork, Galway and Waterford), Gavin Glass & The Holy Shakers (February 24 and 25 in Cork) and fellow Dubliners the Coronas (March 8 in the Ambassador, Dublin). Phew!
