Special concert at historic Ballina building
James Kilbane performs a very special concert in Ballina next Sunday.
St Michael’s Church, one of Ballina's most cherished historic landmarks, will play host next Sunday to a special evening of country and gospel music with renowned singer James Kilbane. This concert will raise much-needed funds for the ongoing restoration of this treasured site.
Built in the 1760s, St Michael’s Church has been a centre of faith and community, serving as a place of continuous worship since its construction. However, time has taken its toll, and the building is in urgent need of repairs, including work on its roof, plaster and gutters which will run in costs to many thousands of euros. This concert is an opportunity for the local community and beyond to help preserve this important piece of Ballina’s history while enjoying a memorable night of music.
James Kilbane, beloved for his soulful voice and heart-warming performances, will bring his unique blend of country and gospel music to St Michael’s. Rising to fame 20 years ago on the popular TV show , Kilbane has since released 13 albums and over 35 singles, achieving multi-platinum sales and a global fan base. His music, available on all major streaming platforms, has touched the lives of listeners worldwide. At this event, Kilbane will perform some of his most meaningful country gospel songs, sharing stories of faith, hope, and inspiration.
The evening promises an uplifting experience, celebrating both music and community spirit. 'An Evening of Country and Gospel' is not just a concert - it’s a chance to support the preservation of St Michael’s Church and its role as a community hub. All are invited to enjoy Kilbane’s heartfelt music and to contribute to a worthy cause.
Tickets are available for a donation of €15 and can be purchased through local outlets, the church organising committee, Eventbrite, or directly by calling 085-8886036. All are welcome, and support from across the region is greatly appreciated.
Come be part of an unforgettable night and a meaningful cause. Doors open at 5.30 pm and the concert begins at 6pm.
