Join 3 of Ireland’s favourite Country Stars, Curtis Magee, Joe Moore and Box Car Brian for a night of toe-tapping and hand clapping country classics in the company of a full live band on Thursday 1st September at 7.30pm.
Curtis Magee originates from Strabane, County Tyrone but now resides in Coleraine on the beautiful North Antrim Coast.
Recognised as Ireland’s No1 solo entertainer, Curtis is able to take you through the musical generations and his repertoire ensures something for everyone in his audience. From Irish ballads, country, gospel songs to sing-a longs and from music of the 50’s and 60’s they are all produced in his own unique and engaging style.
Coming from a musical family, it is little wonder that Curtis has inherited such talent. His natural ability extends to the playing of keyboards, accordion and guitar and his easy listening voice adds the finishing touch to every performance.
It is not surprising to know that his success as an entertainer has gained him many awards at various prestigious clubs through out the UK and Ireland.
He is also one of Ireland’s top recording artistes and to date has recorded over 25 albums and 10 DVD’s.
Curtis continues to be one of the busiest entertainers on the circuit today.
His travels have taken to all over the UK, Spain, Portugal, and even as far away as America and Australia. Whatever the occasion and wherever the place, Curtis with his wealth of wit and Irish charm, will have you tapping your feet, dancing and singing along to exactly what has made him Ireland’s No1.
Joe Moore is from Dungiven, County Derry, Northern Ireland.
Moore worked in the building industry for many years, continuing with this work while he built his audience. In 1997 he turned to music as a full-time occupation.
Designated a new traditionalist, Moore has continued to attract audiences with a preference for an earlier style of country music. His popularity has spread beyond Ireland and his following extends through Europe and Scandinavia.
Moore’s repertoire includes many covers of songs made popular by American country artists as well as a few original songs, some of which were composed by Irish songwriters: ‘Chasing That Neon Rainbow’, ‘Little Dutch Maiden’, ‘Holding Things Together’, ‘Love Without End, Amen’, ‘Honky-Tonk, Two-Steppin’, Beer-Drinkin’ Saturday Night’, ‘Starting New Memories’, ‘Got No Reason’, ‘We Owe It All To Those Who Have Gone Before’, ‘All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down’, ‘God Keeps The Wild Flowers Blooming’ and ‘Seven Spanish Angels’.
Among musicians who have worked with Moore are Matthew Curran (guitar), Johnny Scott (guitar/dobro), John Dolan (piano), Charlie Arkins (violin/harmonica), Clive Culbertson (bass), and Manus Marron (drums).
