Jack L
Jack L is widely regarded as one of the greatest performers ever to have graced a stage. He has performed to sell out crowds in America, a crowd of 40,000 nestled in the palm of his hand at Ireland’s Witness Festival, and he is one of only a few distinguished artists to have performed at the Glastonbury Festival for three consecutive days. The remarkable Irish singer, who has drawn comparisons to legendary talents including Frank Sinatra, Jacques Brel, Scott Walker and Nick Cave, is renowned for his exceptional live performances, has seven acclaimed albums to his credit: the latest, The Story So Far, a collection of his best material to date. From the magic to the mundane, from the carnal to the cosmic, Jack L’s distinctive songs and electrifying vocal style make this a concert not to be missed. As an acoustic performance in the intimate setting of the Linenhall, this promises to be a very special night indeed.
