Maria McKee announces Irish dates

Maria McKee renews her honorary Irish citizenship next month when she swings by the Spring & Airbrake, Belfast (June 26); Cuba, Galway (27); and Whelan’s, Dublin (29).

Based in Ireland for much of the late ‘80s/early ‘90s, McKee will be plugging her sixth solo album, Peddlin’ Dreams, which includes a stunning cover of Neil Young’s ‘Barstool Blues’.

Ask nicely and you might also get to hear ‘Show Me Heaven’, her 1990 chart-topper culled from the Days Of Thunder soundtrack.
