Local Lithgow Folk Musician, Martin Doherty And His First Concert In Three Years !
June 5 @ 7:30 pm
Martin Doherty, a well- loved Lithgow local, has performed with many of the world’s great bands and artists, including ‘The Dubliners’, Mary Black, Christy Moore, John Denver and ‘The Wiggles’. He particularly enjoyed being involved in the Guinness Irish Music Tours which saw him travel all over Australia performing with many overseas and local artists.
Some highlights of Martin’s career that stand out for him are: being asked by Mick Jagger if Mick could sing “Wild Colonial Boy” with him at the Mercantile Hotel when he was in Australia filming the Ned Kelly movie; performing the music for the movie ‘Act of Betrayal’ which starred Elliot Gould, and being the first musician ever to perform at Parliament House in Sydney during the 2004 tour of Irish political leader Gerry Adams.
Martin has always been involved in the Union movement, he is an honorary life member of the CFMEU, and he is always happy to support Union events.
Now, Martin is excited about his first solo performance in three years and hopes to see you there!
