Ralph McTell at The Everyman Cork

What to Expect

Ralph McTell, the veteran English folk singer-songwriter best known for his enduring song Streets of London, plays The Everyman in Cork on Sunday 1 November. McTell has been a central figure in the British and Irish folk revival scene since the 1960s and 70s, and his live shows tend to be intimate, largely solo or lightly accompanied acoustic guitar performances, mixing his best-known songs with stories and material from across a long career. The Everyman’s restored Victorian theatre, with its warm acoustics and close seating, is well suited to this kind of songwriter show, letting the audience focus on the lyrics and playing rather than a big production. It’s a show that will appeal strongly to longtime folk fans as well as anyone who grew up with Streets of London on the radio, and a Sunday evening slot fits the reflective, storytelling nature of his performances.
