Why see Chris de Burgh?
A Better World
Long known as an advocate of romance, Chris de Burgh is instantly recognizable to millions around the globe as the balladeer behind the 1986 mega-hit 'The Lady in Red', a smooth paean to an anonymous woman that set pulses racing. But there is far more to the diminutive British-Irish star than just one tune, and now he launches a new tour with this special Canadian tour, in support of his newest record, The Legend of Robin Hood.
His back catalog explores the supernatural and fantasy, along with more down-to-earth themes of love and loss. It's a folksy sound that's said to be divisive, but altogether his swagger and showmanship manage to win over audiences, thrilling with thoughtful staging and huge shows of gratitude to his many fans.

Chris de Burgh Winnipeg concert
My 4 siblings and I have been Chris de Burgh fans for many years. We all were at a concert of his a few years after Spanish Train release. It was a 5 star night! Three of us were able to attend the April 29 show in Winnipeg.
Chris is a tremendous shoman with crowd connection that few have. His band was top notch talent also. The drums sound pickup was the best we had heard at any concert. The mix of old favourites and ''newer old songs '' (LOL) was very well done, as was the order he played them in for maximizing impact.
As Chris was bidding good night , his gracious ways made us feel like an old friend was saying '' great to see you, may we meet again! "
As always the concert hall was a pleasure to see an event within its walls. ... Read more

Timeless
The 1st time I saw Chris de Burgh was in 1975 backing up Supertramp. He hasn't lost a step. He is a great balladeer. His voice was great, his music, his storytelling, his jokes, everything was fantastic. He did 3 encores and one of them wa of course, Patricia the Stripper. I certainly got my money's worth. ...
