Chris de Burgh – It’s Never Too Late

About this event

Chris de Burgh has been writing and performing melodic, narrative-driven pop songs for over five decades. His catalogue – spanning 26 studio albums and more than 300 original compositions – includes enduring soft-rock standards like ‘Lady in Red,’ ‘Don’t Pay the Ferryman,’ and ‘Missing You,’ all built around clear, almost literary storytelling and his warm tenor voice. For the ‘It’s Never Too Late’ tour he strips everything back to the essentials: no backing band, no elaborate light show. Instead, he steps on stage alone with two instruments, letting the songs – and his conversational, intimate delivery – do the work. The result feels closer to a private recital than an arena production, with lyrics and melody placed front and centre. Fans who know the hits by heart will have plenty to sing along to, but the show also welcomes newcomers: because the focus stays squarely on composition and storytelling, you can follow the thread even if you have never heard the records before.
