Tony Christie & Ranagri

There are some, albeit ?misguided? souls, that think Tony Christie appeared out of nowhere in 2005, to grace our TV screens and ask the way to Amarillo. Nothing could be further from the truth. Those who know better, who appreciate his wonderful voice and his ability to get inside a song, can tell you that over the last 50 years he has recorded a string of exceptional records.

So: Is This the Way to Amarillo? No!

Fifty four years after the release of his million-selling hit, Tony Christie takes a nostalgic journey through his family?s Irish roots, revisiting the music of his grandparents who played in ceilidh bands and sang the songs of their homeland in County Mayo, Ireland.

Once again joining forces with award-winning folk band Ranagri, they wind their way through the music of their childhoods, the stories that crafted the musicians they are today, and the inspirations that have brought them all together.

Entering his 83rd year, this collaboration brings to light aspects of Tony Christie which many won?t have ever expected: emotional and introspective. With exquisite arrangements from Ranagri ? guitars, percussion, flutes, dulcimer, harps ? amidst haunting melodies and lush harmonies, many of the old traditional songs shine with new brilliance.

Melded with musical influences from all over the world, their new album ?The Great Irish Songbook Volume II? will be released on the 8th of August 2025. Expect to sing out loud, laugh and cry! Join these exclusive performances for an uplifting evening to remember for many years to come.

Ranagri have performed in Canada, Portugal, Ibiza, Italy, Germany, France and all across Ireland and will be touring throughout the UK this coming Autumn.
