Declan O’Rourke to play Swinford

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.
