Boo Hewerdine is without a doubt one of the finest singer songwriters around. Hailing from Cambridge, England he has penned songs for and collaborated with some of the worlds finest performers including K D Lang & Eddi Reader. In his own right, Boo is an extraordinary performer. His critically acclaimed album Harmonograph received 5 star reviews in the UK, where reviewers and audiences alike have hailed him a genius. His live performances are filled with magic music, marvelous anecdotes and an intimacy which takes you on a journey which defies description.

Since Boos last solo tour of Australia in 2007 he has toured the UK and Europe extensively with Eddi Reader and Chris Difford, and also released several albums and recordings.  His songs and his live performances take you on an incredible journey that is insightful, emotional and beautiful. He is without a doubt one of the finest talents on this years March Festival season. We invite you to watch and listen, and are pretty sure you wont be disappointed.

Boo will be joined by Melbourne singer - songwriter - guitarist David Hosking, who sometimes performs with other people (and writes their title tracks such as Rebecca Barnard - Fortified) - and highly respected people, at that - but he is really a solo artist in the truest sense of the term.

Ever since he first started performing professionally, he has been stubbornly independent in his outlook and career, ignoring the attentions of record companies in order to articulate precisely his own musical vision without interference.

As a tactic it might be unusual, but it certainly seems to work.

Most recently he has toured Australia with Eddi Reader, England with The Waifs, and shared the stage in Ireland with Ron Sexsmith, Brian Kennedy and Juliet Turner.

The man writes like Schultz created cartoons; simple, uncluttered life pictures that strike you as nothing but authentic. He is one of the finest songwriting talents I have heard, and I wouldnt be surprised if you see his career unfold rapidly here in Ireland  Mark Patterson BBC.

This night will be an intimate showcase of superb singer songwriters and be prepared for a few surprises.

What the critics say

Songwriter to the stars Hewerdine showcases his finely crafted songs in an acoustic guitar-led setting, his light, reedy voice carrying simple, poetic reflections on life and love. The spirit of Nick Drake and Tim Hardin hang over 'Harvest Gypsy', while the understated rhythmic pulse of 'Stone My Shoe' sounds like something JJ Cale might have written. Will Hodgkinson The Observer
