Singer-songwriters Patrick Silke, Willie Headon and Pete Kavanagh gather for a Songwriters In The Round gig at The Moat Theatre on Saturday 2nd August at 8pm.
Known as "In the Round", these gigs bring together three songwriters who take turns performing their own songs (maybe a cover or two) while sharing the personal stories and inspiration behind them.
You’ll hear the funny, heartfelt and sometimes unexpected tales that shaped their music.
These three singer-songwriters are all founding members of The Muddy River Band, who are currently touring nationwide performing the songs of Neil Young, Bob Dylan and Van Morrison.
This is a rare and unique opportunity to catch them together performing a set of their own compositions.
