In it’s inaugural year, Navan Live boasts one of the finest line-ups of Irish musicians seen at any festival this Summer. Shane McGowan, Sharon Shannon & Big Band, The Saw Doctors, Damien Dempsey and a host of local talent will all play across the weekend up in Teach Na Teamhrach (The Balreask Arms), Trim Road, Navan in County Meath.
On Friday 17th The Saw Doctors will take to the stage with support from Navan’s own Simon Fagan & Band while on Saturday 18th Sharon Shannon & The Big Band, Shane MacGowan & Damien Dempsey will all take to the stage with support from Eugene Donegan and his backing band Geriko. Both shows will start at 8pm sharp. Gates to event will open at 7pm, organisers have asked those attending to please allow sufficient time for queuing to get through security checks and ticketing area.
To get the full low down on the event we had a rapid fire chat with one of the organisers Sean Mulligan ahead of the weekend.
