John Prine & The Americana Show with Illegal Smile

  • Newcastle Community Cinema Northern Ireland, BT33 0AD United Kingdom (map)

NCC WELCOME A NIGHT TO REMEMBER WITH A DOUBLE BILL OF TRIBUTE SHOWS THIS DECEMBER…

When John Prine passed away in 2020 due to Covid 19 the world was bereft at the passing of a multi grammy winning artist widely revered as one of the most gifted American singer songwriters of our time with the ability to channel humour and heartbreak into his observations on the human condition in all its characteristics from the cradle to the grave.

Illegal Smile Ireland are a 5 piece band from Northern Ireland and are without doubt the foremost aficionados of John Prine’s music in Europe and the UK. The band have received standing ovations at all their concerts including The Belfast Guinness Blues Cafe, The Grand Social Dublin and the prestigious Whelans Dublin.

They do not set out to look or even sound like John Prine rather they skilfully reproduce his songs with integrity, sincerity and with the musical skill listeners associate with John’s songs.

llegal Smile are proud to present their Americana Show which features some of the best songs to have come from those musicians in Nashville who refused to go along with the establishment. The music of Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Steve Earle, The Band, Bob Dylan, Eagles, Glen Campbell, Jerry Jeff Walker, Little Feat etc.

  • Door Open at 7.45pm
