Delighted to announce the first shows of the year! We return to the wonderful Leeson Lounge for two Thursday shows this month, Jan 19th and 26th. The full Telegraph lineup will be on display with, I hope, a guest or three. Finally, Happy new year and wishing you all the best. It looks like it will be a busy year ahead with the new album almost ready for launch and concerts to follow. I'll keep you posted. Oh and I hope you notice that in our constant striving to be up to date! We have added a face book link on this page. Enjoy

More concerts will be added in the coming days and weeks. Information will be posted here first so please check back for updates.

 

***New Review, HOT PRESS***

The lovely artwork for Kevin Doherty's third album makes a statement by featuring a photo of the songwriter with a guitar and a typewriter.The notion that songwriting is comparable to writing,when you look at most opportunistic stream-of-conciousness tunesmiths,is pretty laughable,but Doherty is a writer. He's remembered that,in the past,folk and country music was a vehicle for old memories and new ideas rendered prettily into words.So amid the guitar picking,sturdy backing harmonies,piano pounding,double bass plucking and to-be-expected tales of times past(like his great tale of the emigrating Irish on 'Tugboat')he drops in refreshing lyrical gems all about economic times present("there's panic on the plains of mammon" he asserts on 'Mammon').All in all,it's well above average and very close to great..
