Dr Hook<\/p>\n

Venue : Theatre Royal Castlebarr<\/p>\n

Date: Thursday 29th<\/sup> October 2009<\/p>\n

Having travelled 4 hours to get to this part of the 32 counties I was hoping the show in hand would not disappoint.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A massive crowd of over 1600 were in attendance to see the opening night of this the Irish Tour by American Music Icons Dr Hook.\u00a0 The show kicked off with Jeff Tuttle and his band who were from Co. Mayo. Jeff is a very good country singer with a nice deep rich voice that came across to the listening public .<\/p>\n

After a short intermission the stars of tonight\u2019s Extravaganza took to the stage without any fuss.\u00a0 As you would expect Dr Hook voice Ray Sawyer gave you all the hits you would expect, cover of The Rolling Stone, Sharing The Night Together, When You\u2019re In Love With A Beautiful Women, and Walk Right In<\/strong> to same just a few.\u00a0 This was as if you were transported back in time to when Dr Hook were Mega stars.\u00a0 The Atmosphere in the Theatre during Hook\u2019s show was electric and the audience sang along with every song, in fact you could say Ray Sawyer had them (the Audience) eating out of his hand.\u00a0 For those who did not realise it Dr Hook had 2 lead singers in their time Ray Sawyer & Dennis Locorriere before Dennis decided to Part Company with the band.\u00a0 But this was Ray Sawyers Dr Hook as Dennis Now does his own solo show.<\/p>\n

If you had sat at home and played the original records to yourself you wouldn\u2019t have noticed the difference in tonight\u2019s show that\u2019s how classy this band were, to describe the show you could only use truly magnificent from start to finish.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
