chris de burgh

A superstar for a number of years in territories like Canada and Argentina (where Chris was actually born), De Burgh finally cracked the British and International markets duirng the late eighties with a string of torch-song hits including the global smash, "Lady in Red".

Now, he undertakes massive world tours, selling out wherever he goes and, indeed, it's not unusual for him to play a staggering ten nights in a row to a jam packed RDS, one of Dublin's largest concert venues.

A consummate showman, Chris delights audiences wherever he plays with stirring renditions of song from his vast canon that encompasses everything from the stirring drama of his early work to the singalong stadium chants of his recent output and, of course, his trademark, smoochy ballads. Little wonder that his live shows have garnered awards in every corner of the world.

Not bad for a former Trinity College student who began his career by serenading the customers in Captain America's burger joint on Dublin's Grafton Street in the early seventies.
