Reeling in the Showband Years returns to Tullamore

Reeling In the Showband Years has been a smash hit for the past 16 years, and it returns to the Tullamore Court Hotel on Sunday, January 21, 2027, to celebrate the start of its 17th year.

Ronan Collins is host and compere and joining him on stage for a night of live entertainment will be Gina from The Champions, Shaun O'Dowd, Dave Lawlor, Lorraine and Keith McDonald and The Conquerors.

Gina From The Champions dominated the Showband era with multiple hit records and sold out shows right around the country for decades.

Shaun O’Dowd was one of the biggest drawing acts in Ireland right through the 1970s. He topped the charts for weeks with his smash hit records “You Are No Angel” and “It’s Good To See You”.

Dave Lawlor, a master stage craftsman with a big voice, returns with the show this year.

His smash hit record of a few years ago “Showband Nostalgia” still retains regular radio play.

Also on stage will be Athlone brother and sister act Keith and Lorraine McDonald who come from one of the oldest musical families in Ireland. Their father, Frankie was trumpet player with Joe Dolan for many years. Lorraine is one of the brightest talents to emerge from the Showband era and Keith is a star in his own right.

The Conquerors Showband, who are still entertaining full venues, will also perform in Tullamore.

The Galway boys sang “Baby Blue” and had many more hits.

The show’s exciting finale is an all cast salute to this music era with all of the stars joining in for a medley of songs from the unique Showband years!
