Sheeran, Oasis and bangin’ tunes

FOLK pop singer-songwriter Luke Deakin returns with a bangin’ mix of upbeat covers in The Cove on Saturday, January 23.

After a stellar gig here in 2015, expect another lively dose of classics from the likes of Ed Sheeran, Paul Weller and Oasis through to Van Morrison, Bob Dylan and the Beatles.

Armed with plenty of crowd pleasers, Deakin also throws in some of his own material into the mix, having generated some serious interest among industry big wigs.

Robust guitar tunes coupled with astute lyrics have seen him tour Ireland, Europe and as far as Hong Kong.
