We are delighted that Robbie Cavanagh is bringing his band to Kirton, as part of their first headlining UK Tour. Robbie performs self penned, un-scrubbed tales of heartbreak, love loss and discovery.  When he puts pen to paper he lives by his own words.  He writes with honesty, emotion, and most important instinctively.  He sings with clear, soothing vocals and a gentle manner. Over the years he has been championed by BBC Radio 2's Bob Harris, who has invited him to perform at Festival and Showcases across the UK and America. Support will come from the wonderful Demi Marriner.  Demi's passion and emotion is so contagious that it is impossible not to be captivated by her.  Riding shotgun alongside her unique and outstanding songwriting are her powerful vocals and emotive live performances, Tickets are priced at £13.50 they can be purchased from the Costcutter store in Kirton (soon to be Londis!), from Brian on 01652 649230 or brianchudley@btinternet.com or get them from www.wegottickets.com Venue:  Town Hall, Market Square, Kirton in Lindsey, N Lincs, DN21 4LZ The above two shows are followed by two blockbusters:   On Friday 20th March we welcome back JENN BOSTIC back to Kirton.
