John Doyle

Music Doors: 7:15 pm Show Starts: 8:00 pm

Advance Price: £20

Over the past 20 years and more, John Doyle has established himself as the guitarist-accompanist of choice for not only Joan Baez and Mary Chapin Carpenter but also the great Chicago-born Irish fiddler Liz Carroll and bluegrass stars Tim O’Brien and Dirk Powell.

Add in a GRAMMY nomination for the album Double Play, playing guitar on Eric Clapton’s latest album and his place in the Transatlantic Sessions band, singer songwriter John Doyle is one of the greatest folk artists of our time.

“Doyle on guitar has risen to a level occupied by him alone. No one in Irish traditional music is a better guitarist than him right now” – The Wall Street Journal

“More talent than anybody deserves to have all to themselves” – Philadelphia News
