In the early 1970s nobody in Ireland personified the raw energy of rock and blues music like Rob Strong, one of the most unique voices of the era. The Derry Legend with the sensational blues/soul voice, is celebrating an amazing 55 years on the road this year! His forthcoming biography (available in October 2020) features tributes from many of Ireland’s top musicians with many remarking that Rob has always been world class.
The magnetic pull of performing LIVE is still every bit as strong for Rob today. After touring Ireland’s finest theatres with Don Baker to huge acclaim in 2018, Rob continues to perform in this, his fifty fifth year on the road. Not many artists can claim to have continuously played LIVE for the last six decades!
All in all, with the band playing tunes from the last six decades, a fabulous night out is guaranteed!
