COME AND ENJOY A MEGA COUNTRY MUSIC WEEKEND AT…

Running from Friday 31st May to Monday 3rd June, this years’ event features a fantastic line up of artists performing in different venues around the village. From free gigs in the bars to exciting star events in the community hall, it’s going to be a blast! Here’s a quick lowdown of our exciting programme.
 

EFFIE NEILL and the BARRY DOYLE BAND will be kicking off the dance night programme when she takes to the stage in the hall on Friday night, 31st May.

Effie has been going from strength to strength since winning the Cowboys & Heroes singing competition in 2023, and her subsequent single ‘Country Is Best’ has resonated with listeners as it surpasses 100k plays online. Her brilliant voice has lead to further exposure on The Hot Country TV Show and Effie’s audience has expanded as her music is heard beyond these shores.

Whilst performing since a very young age, it’s fair to say that her recent success brings a great new talent into the wider Irish Country Music scene.

Tickets available at the door on the night.

We’re delighted to welcome Effie and the band to Ballydehob and look forward to a brilliant evening of music and dance.
 

On Saturday, 1st June, we’re proud to welcome MICHAEL ENGLISH and BAND for another great night of entertainment.

In truth Michael hardly needs an introduction. Born in Castledermot, County Kildare, and known for his powerful vocals, his musical ability has earned critical acclaim and a loyal fan base across Ireland and beyond. He has toured extensively with sell out concerts in Europe, the United States, and Australia, and his stage presence has had a lasting impact in the Irish music world.

For the 2nd year running, Michael took home the “Male Vocalist of the Year” award at The Sunday World Country Music Awards 2018, and in 2023 his single ‘Home Away From Home‘ joined his brilliant catalogue of singles released during an illustrious career.
