All set for the North Tipperary Show

Large crowds are expected this Bank Holiday Monday as the North Tipperary Agricultural Show returns.

This long standing tradition in Tipperary can hardly be rivalled with many parents, grandparents and even their grandparents having attended at some point in the 143 years of history. Through tough times and good times the show has survived.

Although essentially an agricultural show with the reliable stalwarts remaining unchanged the show has evolved to become a special day out for all the famil

So come and meet the neighbours for an authentic experience and the kettle will be on.

ENTERTAINMENT

This year we have a very special line-up of live music that includes such a broad variety of music that will not only entertain but inspire the spectators at this year’s show. At 12 noon we have the award winning, rising star in country music, the one and only Aishling Rafferty, who will start performing live on stage accompanied by local musician Noel Ryan, who will provide the music to accompany her sensational voice. Aishling will no doubt be a big hit on show day among the crowd, so please make sure to arrive on time so as to not miss her on stage. Aishling will be singing from 12 noon to 2pm, followed by Bubba Shakespeare, who is another rising star in the music scene. Bubba is a local songwriter/rapper and adds great diversity to our music lineup for the day as his songwriting ability, which reaches out to both young and old combined with his amazing voice is simply such a breath of fresh air.

As if things couldn’t get any better we round up our music proceedings with the absolutely brilliant band REV-20, the band whose lead singer is local man Collie Hogan, well known in both the pub scene as well as on the big stage as this band cover versions of the most popular songs sometimes even better than the originals, lead out from by the vocals of Collie Hogan and kept in beat by drummer Mark Ryan along with the other amazing band performers. REV-20 is simply not to missed and will keep the show rocking until well into the evening.
