Co Kildare band 'The Druids' will return to the prestigious Moat Theatre in Naas this Friday 1 February 2019 after a fantastic sell-out tour in Scotland and Denmark before Christmas and this week the band are celebrating 10 years in the music industry!
The bands’ last performance was a sell out and one that showcased ‘The Druids’ new image and pathway. The Druids first burst on to the music scene early in 2008, and their songs carry the story of Ireland which are delivered with passion and conviction.
The band consists of Mick O’Brien a proud Wexford man now living in Newbridge who has been described as the ‘Best Front Man’ in Irish music having travelled the world with groups such as CITY FAIR and THE SHAMROCKERS, Paddy Mangan a singer and talented Lead Mandolin player from Johnstownbridge, Gary Lawlor who hails from Clane and is a powerful vocalist and son of the great local musician Mick Lawlor, and Zak Moran from Johnstownbridge on bass who is the newest and youngest member of the band bringing great passion to his performances.
Speaking to KildareNow recently, Gary Lawlor said: “We’ve just come off the back of a sell-out tour in Denmark and Scotland as well. Plus 2019 will see some exciting new additions for The Druids.”
Huge news broke recently of a new studio produced album and it is already underway with the guidance of an expert Production team and The Druids hope to have a single released very soon.
In recent times one of the highlights for the popular band was being asked to perform at one of Copenhagen’s finest musical venues in Portalen. This venue is possibly one of the finest around and one The Druids took by storm with amazing stories and song.
The sell -out show came also on the back of a sold-out Scottish Tour which again has shown the band are now internationally recognised.
The Druids will perform Live at the Moat Theatre in Naas this Friday, February 1 with doors open from 8pm and it's sure to be a fantastic showcase with tickets on sale for €20 with tickets on sale via www.moattheatre.ticketsolve.com
