Join James Kilbane for an evening of country and gospel in north Mayo town

Join James Kilbane for an evening of country and gospel music in support of St. Michael’s Church, Ballina – one of the town’s most cherished historic landmarks.

The event will take place on Sunday, November 24, with doors opening at 5.30 p.m. and the concert beginning half an hour later.

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 cost 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. His music, available on all major streaming platforms, has touched the lives of listeners worldwide.

Rising to fame 20 years ago on the popular TV show You’re a Star, Kilbane has since released 13 albums and over 35 singles, achieving multi-platinum sales and garnering a global fan base.

At this event, James will perform some of his most meaningful country gospel songs, sharing stories of faith, hope, and inspiration. 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 by calling (085) 8886036. All are welcome. Be part of an unforgettable night and contribute to a meaningful cause.

'An Evening of Country & 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 in Ballina.
