Down the Crooked Road again as Mary announces 2016 tour dates
Down the Crooked Road again as Mary announces 2016 tour dates
Following on from her sell-out tour earlier this year, Mary has announced she’s going on the road again in Ireland from January 8, 2016 with a nation-wide tour which includes some great venues she missed out on in 2015.
Following the launch of her autobiography “Down the Crooked Road” and the “Soundtrack” CD and due to popular demand, Mary has finalised the dates and venues for another tour which extends to the four corners of the country and sees her doing what she loves most – performing to a live audience.
“The tour at the start of this year was great fun and the reaction was simply incredible,” Mary explained. “I can’t wait to get back out on the road with the band, and get on stage singing the songs that people love and want to sing with me. That sort of reaction is great and makes you want to perform more and meet great people afterwards and that is exactly why we are doing this Irish Tour”.
Starting on January 8th in the Black Box Theatre in Galway and with the same great band of Bill Shanley, Pat Crowley, Nick Scott and Richie Buckley, the Mary Black 2016 Tour goes nationwide to include concerts in Dublin, Belfast, Galway, Sligo, Armagh, Cork, Cavan, Clonmel, Tullamore, Tralee, Limerick, Wicklow and Kilkenny.
All dates can be found on the Concerts page.
