The Saw Doctors announce extra Mayo date

THE Saw Doctors have announced an extra Mayo date due to demand at the TF Royal, Castlebar, on Friday, September 4.

Tickets priced from €46.20 to €51.20 inclusive will go on sale at 10 a.m. this Friday via Ticketmaster.

In the days following Mayo's All-Ireland win, 'The Green and Red of Mayo’ was heard everywhere on Irish radio and TV and reached No. 1 on the Irish Spotify charts and on iTunes.

Now Mayo fans can hear it live at the TF Royal as the band stage their first shows in the county in over 15 years on two nights, with concerts on September 4 and 5.

The Saw Doctors, led by the band’s songwriting duo, Davy Carton (lead vocals) and Leo Moran (electric guitar), have recently welcomed back one of their founding members, Pearse Doherty, on bass guitar, vocals, penny whistle and wooden flute. The eight-man band lineup features Anthony Thistlethwaite, formerly of The Waterboys, on saxophone and longtime members Rickie O’Neill (drums), Kieran Duddy (keyboards and accordion), Tommy Carton (backing vocals) and Noelie McDonnell (guitar and backing vocals).
