Dublin man & multi-instrumentalist Chris Kavanagh has been singing & playing music since he was three years old. His Grandmother instilled a love of folk music in him from this tender age, with bands such as The Dubliners & The Clancy Brothers played regularly in his childhood home. Chris is well known for his passionate performances of folk singer Luke Kelly’s songs with his successful show. “The Legend of Luke Kelly”, but he is also an extremely skilled songwriter & composer.
His 2011 album “Voice of the People” showcases his skills to perfection, and his musical arrangements around the songs, coupled with his exceptional singing talents bring a long-awaited freshness to the folk music scene. In 2011, Chris was asked by the late Al O’Donnell to perform at one of his shows remembering Luke Kelly, and it was there that he met The Dubliners for the first time.
On hearing Chris’s album, John Sheahan asked him to perform with The Dubliners on their German tour.
