Monday 12th December – Doors Open: 7:30pm
As winter draws on and the festive season approaches, we think of spending time with family, recalling Christmas times past with music and song. With this is mind, the Kirwan Family, Dominic, Colm and Barry, invite you to share their warm musical memories of this time of year with “ A Kirwan Family Christmas “ Show. Dominic again this year will be joined on stage by sons Colm and Barry for an evening of what promises to be a celebration of the best of Christmas music both sacred and secular.
Colm returns from his base in Nashville where he has worked for the past six years with many artists both writing and performing. He has toured both as a solo artist and with many legends of country such as Don Williams. He has recently released an EP of his own songs entitled,” Emerald Eyes” adding to an impressive roster of his recorded material.
Barry Kirwan breaks off from his hectic schedule of live performances to join this year’s Christmas show. After paying his dues as drummer with many successful acts, most notable being Derek Ryan, Barry branched out on his own right, fronting his own band which debuted in June of this year. He also released the critically acclaimed, “New Beginnings,” CD featuring the hit songs “Up The Jive” and “Keep It In The Middle Of The Road”, which have helped fill many dance floors throughout the country.
Dominic can reflect on another successful year, having yet again played to sold out shows in the UK and Ireland. He has also scored notable achievements this year, having visited New York and Newfoundland, adding to his growing fan base of 30 years standing. He also fulfilled a long time ambition working with musical hero Sir Cliff Richard in the past summer. 2017 will see Dominic back in the studio, this time with top producer Jonathan Owens, a combination which many Irish music lovers will look forward to with keen anticipation.
“ A Kirwan Family Christmas “ show promises a variety of old favourites and modern classics, helping to forget for a time the stresses of Christmas preparation and reminding you of the value of a true family Christmas.
