Derek Ryan at Midlands Park Hotel

Following on from the phenomenal success of his last tour. Derek and his fantastic band will play his biggest hits here at the Midlands Park Hotel, Portlaoise from ‘Hold On To Your Hat’ ‘Down On Your Uppers’ and ‘God’s Plan’, all of which have made him one of Ireland’s best selling country singer/songwriters.

Derek Ryan is Irish country music’s golden boy with chart topping albums, self-written smash hit singles, box office busting live tours and of course an army of faithful fans around the world. The roll call of success for the multi-talented Irish man is long and much deserved with number one albums, sell-out shows in Ireland, UK and further afield, with a fistfuls of Awards to his name.

Continuing to propel to new heights, Derek has firmly cemented his position at the top table of Irish Country’s elite, with his brand of original, self-penned material and country classics. The Carlow man is a multi-recipient of awards for his performances and songwriting, including numerous Sunday World accolades for ‘Album of the Year’ and ‘Songwriter of the Year. We are delighted to have the opportunity to host his most anticipated concert tour yet again in the Midlands Park Hotel.

Tickets can be purchased at reception or online
