Live music: Charley Pride - Cork Opera House
A lot of people were warning that after his Late Late Show appearance, 77-year-old country legend Charley Pride looked too infirm to be in the middle of an Irish tour that included Dublin, Cork, Belfast, Bundoran, Mullingar, Cavan, Monaghan and Kilkenny. How wrong they were.
Despite a stoop that slows his walking, Charley still has the onstage presence, and that southern charm, humour and charisma that audiences love. Most importantly, he still has a voice that could have sung jazz, blues, pop or country.
