Tickets on sale now

We are delighted to announce that legendary singer Rita Coolidge will take to the stage with Red Hurley.
The multi Grammy award winning artist will sing all her hits including "(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher", "I'd Rather Leave While I'm in Love" and "All Time High" (the theme for the James Bond film Octopussy).

Red Hurley and Friends will be playing the Grand Canal Theatre where his legion of loyal fans will get a chance to hear him performing some of his greatest hits and to showcase classic tracks from his latest album 'How Great Thou Art' released in the U.K. in November 2009.

A prolific hit maker here in his native Ireland, Red has spent an impressive total of 140 weeks on the Irish charts. During the last year he has recorded with various choirs in Ireland, Africa and the U.S. for the album ‘How Great Thou Art’ which was initially planned as an American-only release. However due to the phenomenal response to Terry Wogan’s playing the CD, the record company scheduled a U.K. release of the album and title track in November last.

Red with his rich powerful voice has been compared to many successful contemporary artists but ‘How Great Thou Art’ highlights Red’s breathtaking, individual performance perfectly. Without a doubt a song of inspiration and unquestionably a song of peace and reassuring solace, ‘How Great Thou Art’ is but one example of the treats that are to be found on this new album.

Recently, Red joined forces with many of the top international artists including Sharon Corr, Brian May, Peter Gabriel, Hayley Westerna, Elaine Paige and of course our own Sir Terry Wogan on the Children in Need album in the U.K. In fact Red appears on no less than three different tracks.

As 2010 progresses, Red will continue to entertain his large fan base around the world through his live shows and media appearances.
Red is currently working with Dr. Maya Angelou, Oprah Winfrey’s mentor on a new joint DVD and C.D. for release in the U.S. in March and has recently performed in the renowned Riverside Church in New York, where The Harlem Gospel Choir were his special Guests.

"Art makes us human and true art can make us truer to who we can be as human beings. The song, the poem, the dance, the painting may be beautiful but they truly move us only if they express emotional truths. The human voice is the most expressive instrument known to man it can evoke an enormous amount of emotion.
These songs of Red have moved me greatly.” He sings to me, down in my soul”
Dr. Maya Angelou.
