A native of Athy, Co Kildare, Jack L, as his army of devoted fans will testify is one of the most powerful live performers out there. Although he loathes the comparisons, his spellbinding performances recall a blend of Sinatra, Jacques Brel, Scott Walker and Nick Cave. Jack's recent ventures have included a summer concert with the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra in New York where he performed songs from his last album 'Burn On', his cover album of Randy Newman songs, to a background of fireworks.

	THE SIGN OF THE WHALE
	25/03/10 8.00pm €18.00 & €16.00	Tinderbox Theatre Co, presents; THE SIGN OF THE WHALE by Jimmy McAleavey Belfast 1977. Marty, a headline writer neurotically compelled to remember every victim of violence, is on the brink of a breakdown. Tony, a Belfast teenager, is meanwhile on the brink of life amid a conflict that might never end. Into their world of violent stalemate sails something preposterous, absurd and magical. A killer whale is seen in Belfast Lough. Has it come to be butchered itself, bring luck or bring further disaster to the city? When the whale suddenly disappears, tragic circumstances bring Marty and Tony together in a search to find it. Maimed by experience, their search becomes much more than for a hunt for the whale. It's their search for a future.
