If you’re looking for an evening of music that lifts the spirit and stirs the soul, make sure you’re in Westport Town Hall Theatre on May 16th.
DECLAN NERNEY has spent a lifetime bringing joy to stages across the country.
On Friday, May 16th, Westport Town Hall will come alive with the unmistakable sound of one of Ireland’s most beloved country music legends. Declan Nerney, a name synonymous with feel-good rhythms, heartfelt ballads, and ceaseless energy, is returning to the stage – and to the hearts of fans – in what promises to be an unforgettable evening with special guests John McNicholl and John Hogan.
For over four decades, Declan has been a cornerstone of the Irish country music scene. From his early days in Drumlish, County Longford, to chart-topping hits like Stop the World and The Marquee in Drumlish, Nerney has crafted a legacy that’s as enduring as it is endearing. His music blends traditional roots with a uniquely Irish spirit, and he continues to draw audiences from every generation – from those who grew up dancing to his records, to newcomers discovering his sound for the first time.
What sets Declan Nerney's show apart is not just the music, but the atmosphere he creates. His live performances are marked by warmth, humour, and an almost familial connection with the audience. It’s no exaggeration to say that a night with Declan is more than a concert – it’s a celebration.
Westport Town Hall, with its intimate charm and acoustics tailor-made for live music, is the perfect setting for such a performance. As the town embraces a spring season full of culture and community, Nerney’s appearance feels like a natural highlight – a moment for neighbours, friends, and visitors alike to gather, dance, and sing along.
