We’ve Only Just Begun – The Carpenters’ Greatest Love Songs
Cork Opera House | 19 May 2025
After ten years of continued touring success, Ireland’s most successful tribute show WE’VE ONLY JUST BEGUN – THE CARPENTERS’ GREATEST LOVE SONGS returns to the Cork Opera House on 19 May 2025. The show has previously sold out and features the timeless music of the Carpenters; Close To You, Superstar, For All We Know, Song For You, and Top Of The World, just to mention a few.
The show’s creator and promoter Pat Egan says: ‘It’s a very unique show, in that every one of the featured 23 songs was an American or British chart hit, not something you see every day’
Toni Lee is utterly unique in that she recreates the voice of Karen Carpenter like no one else alive and it is simply the best celebration of the Carpenters music to be heard anywhere in the world.
Recorded for American PBS television in 2017 the show was also screened by Virgin Media TV in Ireland. The show has successfully toured The UK on six occasions and also played dates in Holland and Belgium.
The show’s Musical Director and arranger is Eugene McCarthy, a highly experienced musician of over 30 years who has worked with top Irish and international acts.
