Joni Mitchell & Me featuring Liz Scattergood

Kerry-based singer Liz Scattergood brings to the Carnegie an infectious passion for the music of arguably the greatest and most influential songwriter of her lifetime.

Through a selection of Joni’s material spanning 4 decades she weaves a few of her own delightful songs along with insights into Joni’s life and music, and how they have had such a powerful impact on Liz’s musical and personal life.

Liz’s spellbinding voice and guitar playing are backed by her multi-instrumentalist husband Andrew ‘Skatz’ Scattergood on piano, guitar, percussion and vocals, himself no stranger to the Carnegie having starred in several performances here.

Having performed Joni’s songs for many years in the UK, and for three much anticipated repeat performances down the road in Waterville since moving to Kerry, Liz is delighted to be appearing at The Carnegie.

All profits from this concert go towards multisensory equipment and materials for Innabubble’s unique sensory puppet adventure ‘The Mergle’s Tale’ for people with intellectual disabilities or dementia, and young children. This inspiring, stimulating and unique show will be on at The Carnegie too (See our website for details, or go to www.innabubble.com)

Celebrating Christie Hennessy with Aonghus McAnally

One of Ireland’s most beloved singer-songwriters, Christie Hennessy delighted audiences everywhere until his untimely death in 2007 aged just 62.

In this show, celebrated entertainer Aonghus McAnally brings the Hennessy songbook to life with his uncanny recreation of his close friend Christie’s voice and guitar playing. Featuring all his best loved hits – Messenger Boy, Jealous Heart, Don’t Forget Your Shovel, All The Lies That You Told Me, and the iconic Roll Back The Clouds – come and experience the storytelling brilliance of Christie Hennessy for one more night of his magical music.

Inhabiting the role of Christie is particularly poignant for Aonghus as the two were such close friends – Aonghus even delivered the eulogy at Christie’s funeral.

Speaking about the show, Aonghus said, “It’s a genuine privilege to share Christie’s incredible music with audiences around the country, and an honour to be part of keeping his spirit alive. Music fans want one more Christie gig, and to be able to recreate that magic for them is one of the most special feelings I’ve ever had on stage. Having played Christie before, maybe the greatest compliment I’ve ever received as a performer was when Christie’s wife Gill came to me after the show in tears, saying it’s like having Christie back again.

KIERAN GOSS AND ANNIE KINSELLA -'Home For The Summer'  Ireland Tour 2019

Kieran Goss and Annie Kinsella return to Kenmare with songs from their debut duo album ‘Oh, The Starlings'…... songs, stories and harmonies that transport the listener to another world, this is music from the heart, for the heart… A show to make you laugh and cry… A show to move you with its honest beauty… A show not to be missed.

"Oh, The Starlings, the debut album from Irish duo Kieran Goss and Annie Kinsella, is quite simply stunning. Great songs, beautiful harmonies and an artistic triumph that constantly reminds us that less is more.”
Irish Times

"Individually, they are both gifted singers but when they sing together, magic happens… the harmonies, the chemistry… just sublime.”
Time Out Magazine.

Recorded in New York with eight time Grammy winning engineer and mixer Kevin Killen at the helm (David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, U2, Elvis Costello), 'Oh,The Starlings' has been described by songwriter Rodney Crowell as: "So good, it’s heartbreaking... the record itself feels like an old friend.”

Having already won the kinds of reviews that signal their elevation onto the international stage, Kieran Goss and Annie Kinsella's 'Oh, The Starlings’ is a work of art with poetry and melody at its heart. While at times reminiscent of the great music of the 70s – Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell or Leonard Cohen – Goss and Kinsella have undeniably succeeded in creating something magnificently, uniquely theirs: an album that is both classic and modern, simple and multi-layered, quiet and dynamic.
