The spirit of Johnny Cash

Uri Kohen of Electric Cave Production reports from Westport, Co. Mayo:

The spirit of Cash is alive and kicking!

In the last three years of promoting gigs in Geraghty's pub, I have noticed that every time an artist played a Johnny Cash number, the crowd was over the moon. I then went in the search for the ultimate Johnny Cash tribute act. I was over the moon to find a hidden gem in Co. Tyrone. JP Mac is as close as you will get to the real thing.

I invited JP to open the 2011 season of Geraghty's Unfinished Music Series; so when he played Westport last Saturday night (8.1.2011), the fans came from every corner of the town and JP rocked the night away. Backed up by the great guitar playing of Gavin, the two did justice to the Johnny Cash legacy. It was a great night and set the tone for the nights to come in the month ahead.

Next Saturday the Bluestack Mountain Boys. See you in Westport!
