gigs | Swinford GAA

On Saturday the 28th of November, Swinford Cultural Centre is delighted to play host to the one and only Declan O’Rourke.

He is currently touring his brand new studio album, Gold Bars in the Sun, across America and Europe. His fourth album since he burst on the scene 10 years ago with ‘Since Kyabram’, Declan is a world renowned songwriter, a gifted instrumentalist and a consummate performer.

Paul Weller described his debut single Galileo as “…possibly the greatest song written in the last 30 years.”

After returning from a mini tour of the Western States of the United States, Swinford Cultural Centre is the first stop on his Irish tour and this is a unique opportunity to catch this world class talent in this wonderful venue.

Tickets cost €20 and are available online at swinfordgaa.ie and in the real world at O’Connell’s pharmacy and the Gateway hotel.

This concert is proudly sponsored by O’Connell’s pharmacy and all profits will go to the Swinford Memorial Garden.

We are proud to announce that Damien Dempsey will play Swinford Cultural Centre on Saturday 30th May with his full band.

Damien has been gigging for nearly 20 years and has released seven albums since his debut ‘They Don’t teach this shit in school’ in 2000.

He sings in the tradition of his fellow Dubs Luke Kelly and Ronnie Drew and his music draws from his own personal expierences and national affairs.

He has won numerous awards including Best Irish Male at the Meteor Awards and his fans include Sinead O’Connor and U2 and he has been described by the Sunday Times as “A phenomenal voice….”
