When Glen Campbell grabbed Siamsa hearts at Páirc Uí Chaoimh

In memory of Glen Campbell, we’re reproducing Declan Colley’s review of the late singer’s 1983 appearance at Siamsa Cois Laoi at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork.

INTERNATIONAL singing star Glen Campbell was taken to the hearts of the thousands of people who attended yesterday’s Siamsa Cois Laoi when he gave a performance of true virtuosity and talent.

On a day made successful by a good-natured, well behaved crowd, Campbell provided the crowning glory with an hour and a half long show filled with a wide variety of songs, much good humour and genuine nature.
