Fairground Attraction make their first visit to North Mayo when they appear at Ballina Arts Centre on February 28th at 8pm. The group helped bring singer, Eddi Reader into the limelight and to the attention of a much wider audience in the 1980s.

The single 'Perfect' and parent album First of a Million Kisses both topped the British charts. In the 1980s, Eddi moved to London where she quickly became a sought after session vocalist before singing with Annie Lennox and touring with the Eurythmics.

From the classic Songs Of Robert Burns album - released to international acclaim in 2003 - to recordings with the cream of traditional

players throughout the UK, her rare blend of meltingly-true vocals and towering romanticism combine with an astute and pragmatic nature to make her a unique and powerful figure in contemporary British music.

Adm: €18 / €16 (conc). Booking essential.
