Renowned singer Dominic Kirwan due to play The Source in Tipperary
Tyrone Irish entertainer is to play in The Source in Thurles for a hotly anticipated gig
Beloved Irish entertainer Dominic Kirwan is bringing his highly anticipated concert tour to The Source Arts Centre in Thurles on Friday, 27th November. Known for his warm charismatic stage presence, versatile vocal talent, and genuine connection with his audience, Kirwan promises an evening packed with classic country numbers, nostalgic showband hits, and contemporary Irish favourites.
Fans can expect a vibrant, multi-genre setlist featuring the signature melodic charm that has kept Kirwan at the forefront of the Irish and international music scenes for nearly four decades. Backed by a full band of top-tier musicians, this performance is set to be one of the highlights of the autumn entertainment calendar in Tipperary.
Born and raised in Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, Dominic Kirwan’s musical journey began in a town deeply rooted in the rich traditions of Irish music and storytelling. From a young age, he was immersed in the local entertainment scene, initially finding a passion for Irish dancing. He excelled on the competitive circuit, securing several titles and developing a natural rhythm and stage confidence that would later define his professional singing career.
By the late 1970s and early 1980s, Kirwan transitioned into singing, joining local bands and performing in the vibrant cabaret and lounge circuits across Ulster. His distinctively smooth voice, combined with an ability to effortlessly blend traditional country music with upbeat pop and Irish ballads, quickly caught the attention of music promoters.
In 1989, Kirwan signed his first major recording contract, launching his solo career with the hit album Try a Little Kindness. The release catapulted him from local favourite to a national star, earning him a dedicated following across Ireland and the UK. Over the years, he has shared the stage with international icons such as Charley Pride, Tammy Wynette, and Kenny Rogers, securing his legacy as one of Ireland's finest musical ambassadors.
With over thirty albums recorded, numerous television appearances, and countless sold-out tours worldwide, Kirwan continues to captivate audiences with the same energy and passion he had when starting out in Tyrone.
Tickets at €32 are available online or via the box office. Doors at 7.30pm, for the 8pm concert on Friday, November 27th.
