Ireland's 'King of Swing' brings legendary show to Birr Theatre
The man who has been crowned as Ireland's official 'King of Swing' Luke Thomas and his band The Swing Cats, will be performing at Birr Theatre on Saturday, February 15, as part of their Kings of Swing tour.
This brand-new show celebrates 100 years of swing music with a musical timeline of classics from the 1920's to the modern day featuring Big Band songs like Sing Sing Sing, Puttin’ on The Ritz, Just a Gigolo and Mack The Knife to crooning favourites like Mr. Bojangles, Fly Me To The Moon and Moon River all the way to the iconic swing anthem New York New York.
Luke Thomas has also captivated audiences as a headline act at The Guinness Cork Jazz Festival this year and at Electric Picnic and also on The Late Late Show, Ireland AM, The Today Show, The Six O'Clock Show and every major radio station in the country.
Having been personally requested to perform for President Michael D. Higgins on no less than eight occasions, and with two Number 1 albums and three TV Concert Specials under his belt, Luke Thomas and The Swing Cats are sure to have the audience on their feet in Birr next month.
