Moving Hearts have announced their only Irish date, a visit to The Olympia on January 29.
The iconic collective began playing together in 1981, but took a hiatus of sorts for close to 20 years, before reuniting in 2007. Even now, their appearances are limited - yet praised as one of the most exceptional live spectacles around - so tickets for this one are likely to be in massive demand.
The bands line-up for this special appearance will include a stellar roster of many of Ireland’s finest musicians: Donal Lunny bouzouki , Davy Spillane uilleann pipes and low whistles, , Keith Donald sax and bass clarinet, Eoghan O’Neill bass, Noel Eccles percussion, Jimmy Smith guitars, Liam Bradley drums, Graham Henderson keyboards and special guests Mairtin O’Connor accordion and Mick Hanly vocals.
It's alarm clocks at the ready for Friday, then, as they go on sale at 9am, priced from €45.50.
