Shows have been sell-outs

THE Community Centre in Kilconly has almost become the official warm-up ground for The Saw Doctors who will be back on stage there next month.

The band are already enjoying a sell-out year of the shows they’ve announced so far with thousands of tickets for two West Awake concerts in Tuam and a concert in the Big Top in Galway this summer selling out in minutes.

Leo Moran and Davy Carton and the band will now play two warm-up gigs in The Venue in Kilconly on Sunday, June 11 and June 18 to ensure they are all singing in tune ahead of their appearance at the famous Glastonbury Festival in the UK on Friday, June 23.

Tickets for the Kilconly shows go on sale this Friday, May 26 at 10am from the Galway-based ticket agency www.onlinetickets.ie/.

After Glastonbury the Docs head across the Atlantic for a much-anticipated show at the MGM Music Hall in Boston on July 7. They will also play an outdoor concert to thousands of fans in the centre of Manchester.

Fans from around the world are heading to the West of Ireland to join with locals for the Galway concerts on July 21 and 29 and the Tuam concerts in St Jarlath’s College grounds on August 19 and 20.
