Bobby McFerrin will be probably always be remembered as the "Don't Worry, Be Happy" guy - but that's okay. Not only is the song one of the catchiest and best loved tunes to the past twenty years, it's also a perfect example of Bobby's amazing vocal skills! In case it escaped you the first time, listen to the track again - there are no instruments, just 8 over-dubbed tracks of Bobby's own vocals showing off his stunning four octave range and skilled vocal improvisation. And of course it sums up the musician/composers upbeat take on life and music pretty well too.
But there's far more to Bobby than just the finest feel-good hit of the last century - he's also a world renowned classical conductor and musical innovator. HIs ability to combine jazz, folk, choral, a cappella, and classical music to create an upbeat and uplifting sound that's all his own has won him a reputation as "the last true Renaissance man".
His records are a joy to listen to, of course, but you really do have to catch him live to appreciate to full force of his vocal talent, musical technique and, amazingly, his stand-up comedian's sense of timing! It really does leave audiences with a great big smile across their face time and time again.
Don't miss your chance to brighten up your whole year with this amazing live show! You can book your tickets online now or by calling the box office on (01) 417 0000.
