Carmel Sheerin & the Ravens in concert, 9 April

Carmel Sheerin & the Ravens are continuing their nationwide tour of their second album, Here with you, and will be appearing in the Longford Arms Hotel on Thursday 9 April. Here with you was produced by multi-Grammy-winning Nashville producer Bil VornDick, who also signed them to a publishing deal. The band were fortunate enough to cross paths with Bil a couple of years back, and invited him to holiday in Ireland and give his input into their first album, Runaway.

Bil was so impressed by the unique sound of Carmel Sheerin & the Ravens that he not only gave his input, but decided to produce & master the album. 'Very rarely do you get a chance to work with a family band of three brothers and a sister, as the lead vocalist. There is something about family bands and their harmony that can raise the hairs on the back of your neck. They have the European flair in their music that is so appealing,' said VornDick.

Since then the band have gone from strength to strength, have formed a strong bond & friendship with Bil, and have been over to American numerous times in the past three years. This is a night not to be missed & an opportunity to hear one of Europe's finest bluegrass bands perform. Tickets can be purchased in the Longford Arms or reserved by phoning 087 4152301.
