Whats on guide country club return for lisa amongst weekends highlights
Just a glimpse at Lisa McHugh’s hectic schedule for this month alone shows you how lucky the Hotel Kilmore were to get her for this Saturday’s show! Amongst the concerts spanning the country, she even has a live performance on BBC 2. Mind you, since the Country Club has established itself amongst the elite venues on the live country circuit, Lisa will no doubt be counting her blessings that she’s making her eagerly awaited Cavan return.
Originally from Glasgow, Lisa has made Ireland her home, and it is here she has made her dreams a reality by releasing a new album.
“We’ve worked incredibly hard on this over the past 12 months and it’s an experience I will never forget. I’ve wrote with some of the best songwriters in the world throughout the last year and I can’t wait to let you hear some of them.”
You’ll get a chance to hear Lisa’s songs at the Country Club, in the Hotel Kilmore this Saturday night.
If Lisa doesn't float your boat - maybe one of the following will:
