Christy Moore announces gig at big Laois theatre

Legendary Irish singer Christy Moore has announced a concert at a special Laois venue that is certain to be a night to remember.

The Kildare singer is to play a gig at Mountmellick Arts Centre on Wednesday, October 19.

The centre is a restored plush 1950 cinema with seating for 450 people and tickets at €45 are already flying out via TicketMaster.

Christy Moore previously played at the venue in 2012, and had cancelled a show in Portlaoise in 2020 due to the pandemic.

He tweeted the show this week, which is part of a nationwide tour with sold out shows already across the country.
