McTell's Ireland tour will kick off on October 26th at the Watergate Theatre in Kilkenny and continue with shows across the country until the tour concludes on November 11th at Dublin's Liberty Hall Theatre.

The award winning musician is a lifelong friend of Ireland, its music, and its people. His new album, From There to Here, will therefore feature some of Ireland‘s finest artists and composers.

Referring to the upcoming record, Ralph McTell said: "Over my writing career, I have written and recorded a number of songs that reflect my affection for Ireland, and I wanted to celebrate that by inviting some of my Irish musician friends to take part in this special recording."

McTell's music weaves a narrative that is both significant and poignant, thanks to his unique songwriting and virtuoso guitar style. His debut album Eight Frames a Second, was released in 1968, and was followed by several album, single, and EP releases during the following 50 years.
