DOMINIC Kirwan, the Irish country star with the silky-smooth voice, brings his new show to The Anvil on Wednesday, September 29, from 7.45pm.

Dominic (pictured above) has enjoyed chart-topping albums and phenomenally successful concert tours worldwide.

Brought up in Omagh in a home full of music and traditional dancing, Dominic is the first to admit that his Irish roots and strong musical influences of those early years can still be seen in his live shows today.

Success has not spoiled this mild-mannered star, who not only hosted his own television series but also picked up the prestigious BBC Entertainment Media of the Year Award for Easy Listening/Country Music.

He has spent time each year in Nashville since 1999, a formula which is highly praised by the critics and enthusiastically received by his fans.

But he has not forgotten his roots, and sets aside one weekend a year when he performs in his home town of Omagh, and each year the crowds get bigger.

Tickets for Dominic Kirwan, priced £14, are available from the box office on 01256 844244, the website - www.theanvil.org.uk - or the ticket fax on 01256 366900.
