Geneva Literary Aid Society proudly presents:




Maria Doyle Kennedy

Venue: The Aula, Collège des Coudriers,
15a Avenue Joli Mont, Geneva

She first came to international attention for her soulful singing, and acting, in the film "The Commitments" where she gave Aretha Franklin a good run for her money.
She has gone on to become an acclaimed international recording artist and award-winning actress (The Tudors, Downton Abbey etc). She is in Geneva for one night only with the backing of her husband, Kieran Kennedy, a virtuoso guitarist. She has also played at major events such as Glastonbury, the Cambridge Folk Festival and Oxygen. This is an opportunity to hear her in a small intimate setting.



When: Friday, May 24th at 19.30
