Book

After ten years of continued touring success, Ireland’s most successful tribute show We’ve Only Just Begun The Carpenters Celebration is back.

Toni Lee returns to Cork Opera House in 2025 in a show featuring 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.

Show creator and promoter Pat Egan says:

‘It’s a very unique show, in that every one of the featured 23 songs was a 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. 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.

Having successfully toured Ireland & the UK on six occasions as well as dates in Holland and Belgium, American PBS broadcast a television recording in 2017 which was screened by Virgin Media TV in Ireland.

Audiences are eagerly anticipating the return of this superb show, with many fans reminiscing about the emotional performances that have become a hallmark of the show. This unparalleled tribute concert not only showcases the impeccable talent of Toni Lee but also pays homage to the enduring legacy of The Carpenters, whose music continues to touch hearts across generations.

The 2025 tour promises to be an unforgettable experience, combining nostalgic hits with state-of-the-art lighting and sound production. Fans can expect to be transported back in time, reliving the magic of Karen and Richard Carpenter’s music through Toni Lee’s stunning vocal performances and Eugene McCarthy’s masterful arrangements.

Tickets are expected to sell out quickly, so fans are encouraged to secure their seats early and prepare for an evening that promises to be “Top of the World.”
