Pub will host an iconic Irish voice
WITH a stunning, soulful voice, iconic Irish singer-songwriter Eleanor McEvoy will come to Bathurst next week on a tour that also takes in Scotland, England, Ireland and Germany.
Last year was also the 25th anniversary of the album A Woman’s Heart, when Eleanor’s composition brought a title, a focus and a hit song to the first Irish compilation of female contemporary artists.
The album not only went on to be the biggest-selling Irish album in Irish history, it also provided massive empathy and hope to Irish women emerging from the dark repression of post-war Catholic Ireland.
Enjoy an intimate and close-up evening with the singer next Wednesday, January 17 at 7.30pm at Jack Duggan’s Irish Pub.
