HomeTown Irish tour comes to UCH Limerick

Published

on

The Irish chart topping boyband HomeTown Irish Tour comes to University Concert Hall, University of Limerick on Sunday 13th September, 8pm. Tickets: €25.

In May 2013 Louis Walsh appeared on the Late Late Show to announce that he was going to do a nationwide talent search to look for Ireland’s next big boy band to rival Boyzone and Westlife. Over the course of the next few months he auditioned over 1000 hopefuls, eventually whittling it down to just six.

The result is HomeTown – Ryan McLoughlin (20, Kildare), Cian Morris (20, Mayo), Dayl Cronin (20 Tipperary), Brendan Murray (17, Galway), Josh Gray (17, Wicklow) and Dean Gibbons (21, Dublin). They were locked away in secret for almost a year preparing to take on the world before making their debut appearance on the Late Late show on Friday 30th May 2014, followed by the first performance of their debut single, “Where I Belong” , in November.

“Where I Belong”, co-written by Jamie Scott (One Direction) and Irish band Kodaline, was released on November 28th, charting at Number 1 the following weekend. The song became the fastest selling debut of 2014, and the fastest selling Irish record of 2014.
