RTÉ will be in the city on Friday night filming for an upcoming episode of An Ghig Mhór, a brand new televison series airing in Autumn 2024.

Each episode follows a different young up-and-coming band as they plan and organise their first big gig in their hometown.

After huge recent success on the local music scene, local band The Donnys will be filmed performing Friday night (June 14) at Pegasus Nightclub in the Kilford Arms Hotel.

The aim of the show is to highlight new Irish music and celebrate live music and gigs, as well as showing all the hard work that goes into a gig.

Oisín Conroy is the lead vocalist and plays rhythm guitar, Niall Fionn Campden is lead guitar, Ethan Jackman is on bass, Adam Drennan is on keys and Eoghan Conroy is the drummer.

Doors are at 8pm and they will be supported by Telebox on the night.

Tickets are €10 and can be bought through Eventbrite or at the door on the night.
