PATSY CLINE - 50TH ANNIVERSARY - BY POPULAR DEMAND WITH SANDY KELLY & BAND

After a 40 date sell out theatre tour of the UK ,“Patsy Cline 50th Anniversary Tour” is set to hit Ireland’s shores this coming autumn. This wonderful nostalgic show brings the audience on a trip down memory lane to hear the music and a little insight into the life of one of the greatest female singers that
ever lived....Patsy Cline.

It’s not hard to imagine why Patsy’s music has been so enduring since her untimely death just over 50 years ago. Her wonderful and powerful voice coupled with classic songs like “Crazy”, “Walking After Midnight”, “Sweet Dreams” etc., have insured her recordings are timeless. Patsy was one of a kind
and as long as music is played her memory will live on.

This is also a very special year for Sandy Kelly who plays the lead role in this show. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the first Patsy Cline show that Sandy wrote, produced and starred in. Such was the interest in Sandy's “Patsy” show that RTE invited her do to a 13 week TV series in 1991 and each
week a segment from her Patsy show was included in her TV series.

Subsequently Sandy’s “Patsy Cline Show” was contracted by a major London production company and became the first and only Country Music show to have an extended run in London’s prestigious West End which starred Sandy Kelly and Grand Ole Opry legend George Hamilton IV. Sadly in September 2014 Sandy’s co star, in her “Patsy Shows” George Hamilton IV passed away RIP.

After careful thought Sandy invited one of the New Stars of Irish Country Music, Gerry Guthrie, to join her on this tour. 10 years ago Gerry was part of the backing band for the Patsy tours and knew
and worked with George IV. Since that time he has pursued his own very successful career and today Gerry Guthrie is one of the top acts on the Irish music. Sandy is looking forward to meeting all her old friends and some new ones too during this truly nostalgic tour to celebrate the Music and
Memories of Patsy Cline.
