Music show: We’ve Only Just Begun - Cork Opera House

4/5

If you’re going to front a Karen Carpenter tribute, you can only do it if you have a truly breathtaking voice, the kind of voice that makes you believe in God.

A good voice, or a great voice, won’t cut it; it has to be a voice that will send tears tumbling down your face, as you listen to ‘Rainy Days and Mondays’ before torpedoing you seconds later into the unfettered joy of 1960s technicolour, via ‘Please Mr Postman’ and ‘Top of the World’.
