The Illegals with Niamh Kavanagh return to the Ardhowen Theatre in Enniskillen later this month with their ever-popular, classic-rock revue.

Every year, The Illegals delve deeper into The Eagles’ and Fleetwood Mac’s back catalogues to keep their dynamic live show fresh but familiar to packed venues throughout Ireland.

This year sees Niamh and the band belting out a superb set from the big two, and maybe one or two “connected others” from the West Coast sound.

Led by Niamh, The Illegals will take you on a journey for three hours of soulful harmonies, exciting riffs, blistering guitars and unforgettable songs.

The Illegals started on the back of the Hell Freezes Over album/video and tour of 1994. The band was founded by music producer Mud Wallace along with Torry McGahey (of The Freshmen fame) and Joe Hanratty.

Jim Sisk and Paul Megahey joined the band in 1996/97.

Niamh joined the band in 1998 – at first as a guest vocalist, and later on a permanent basis. It was then that the band decided to expand its repertoire to include Fleetwood Mac – and put Niamh’s exceptional voice to the fore.

Lead guitarist Peter Cochrane came on board in 1999, and Belfast-based singer Paul Dean brought his vocal and guitar skills to the band in the early 2000s.

In 2013, Alyn Watson, a long-time friend of the band, stepped in on bass guitar. Drummer Joe Hanratty is the band’s longest-serving member, having been behind the kit from the very start.

The band has been playing as a seven-piece for more than 20 years and is renowned for its blend of soulful harmonies, instrumental acrobatics and plain, simple craic.

The band is now more popular than ever, playing to packed theatres both north and south of the Border and with many appearances on TV and radio as well as being a popular shout for festivals.

Audiences really love The Illegals live – an entertaining night of vocal harmony, superb musicianship and great fun awaits, served up by a band at the top of its game.

Catch their performance on Friday, April 21 at 8pm, with tickets priced £20 available through the Ardhowen.
