Dave & Kate ran The Singing Gallery in McLaren Vale for 25 years hosting concerts and doing their own shows. They have moved on recently constructing a beautiful enclosed gazebo in their garden at Clarendon. Dave will be returning to his roots and love of Irish music presenting a fabulous trip down the memory lane of music.

Luke Kelly (1940 -1984) Ireland's foremost traditional singer played with The Dubliners. Dave has met and played with the band, followed their music, learnt and sung their songs. Together with friends Dave will present a concert of all those Irish songs we love & remember..The Town I Love so Well...Whisky in the Jar etc etc.

Please note: The venue for the Saturday 17th concert has been moved from the gazebo to Clarendon Community Hall due to booking demand and restriction on patrons attending gazebo.
