Rea-magined

Rea-magined is an expertly-crafted show, featuring the classic hits of 40-million-album-selling Chris Rea, faithfully performed in Rea’s unmistakable style – with a modern twist – by his long-time collaborator, Paul Casey.

A seminal figure in the history of modern guitar, Chris Rea is no longer touring. But his fans – and lovers of great music – can now enjoy a rare opportunity to witness his music live, like never before, as Casey ‘Rea-magines’ the
classic hits. The new show is set to honour Rea’s musical legacy in a way that perhaps could only come about on the back of the decades-long relationship between Casey and Rea.

The hand-picked band for REA-MAGINED: Paul Casey plays the music of Chris Rea are a who’s who of stellar musicians. For Rea, the live experience always involved an energy, a connection and a sound that can only be achieved by a group of players making new musical ground. And today, there’s one man qualified to play a gig that does justice to his friend’s legacy – Derry’s Paul Casey, backed by his full band.
