Chris de Burgh – 50LO

Chris de Burgh can celebrate a very special anniversary in 2024: his debut “Far Beyond These Castle Walls” was released exactly half a century ago – the start of an impressive global career. The singer/guitarist/pianist will be performing a representative cross-section of his more than 330 songs at ten dates in Germany between August 1 and 18. Fans love the down-to-earth musician, who celebrated his 75th birthday on October 15 and recently caused a sensation with his songs for the hit production “Robin Hood – The Musical”. Even professional critics must share the verdict of the Neue Westfälische: “Anyone who has the chance to experience this artist live will quickly see that his work has much more to offer than the hits from the radio. Chris de Burgh is above all a storyteller. His songs are always about adventures, about travelers, about Blackbeard and Robin Hood. He cleverly links the pieces together and frames them elegantly. For example, he asks the audience to imagine they are in a tavern 250 years ago and a group of musicians come on stage to tell them the following story. He effortlessly involves the audience, turning the event into an experience that is more than just a concert.”

“Whoever had the idea and made the decision for Chris de Burgh to also play solo concerts deserves the Golden Cloverleaf,” read the Munich newspaper tz München. “What the Irishman performs for a good two hours is simply beautiful. Simple and beautiful. Chris de Burgh not only sings and makes music (alternately on piano and guitar), he also entertains charmingly. Chris de Burgh solo big time. The wandering bard from Ireland really comes into his own and only solo can you experience and hear what wonderful music (and stories) he has written.” Conclusion: “A really beautiful and wonderful Chris de Burgh solo evening.
