Benson at large
Eight-time Grammy winner George Benson returns to Dublin on May 18 for a one-night stand in the Olympia.
The man who made R. Kelly possible – musically, we hasten to add – Benson was a permanent chart fixture in the '70s and '80s with the likes of 'This Masquerade', 'The Greatest Love Of All', 'Give Me The Night' and 'Turn Your Love Around'.
Since then, the professional footballers' favourite has taken on board all manner of jazz, hip hop and Latino influences culminating in 2002's genre-bending Absolute Benson album.
Tickets priced €54.50 and €59.50 are on sale now.
