American country legend Don Williams has confirmed an Irish tour to take place next April. The Country Music Hall of Fame inductee who has amassed 17 number one hits throughout his career will play the Royal Theatre, Castlebar on Friday 20th April 2012.
A true giant of country music, Don has returned to touring after taking a break from the road when his wife became seriously ill. This is the last time that Don will be playing in Ireland.
There are few American classics these days, but Don Williams is certainly one of them. With a warm hickory baritone that balances strength with a gentle concern, he draws his listener into the intimate world of an old friend, someone who cares deeply about you and the quality of your life … and who will always offer a hand when you need it.
Don Williams is one of the biggest selling country acts of all time , with hits including “I Recall A Gypsy Woman”,  “Amanda” , “You’re my Best Friend” , “I’ve Got a Winner In You”, ”Tulsa Time”, and “Some Broken Hearts Never Mend” that have been  firm favourites of Irish country music fans for decades.


Special guest on the night will be Colm Kirwan, one of Ireland’s newest and most exciting Country Stars. After successfully touring the UK in ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’, Colm joined his father, Dominic Kirwan, touring with him for nearly three years, gaining many friends and fans along the way.   Colm has now moved to the home of Country Music, Nashville Tennessee, where he has been co-writing songs with a number of Nashville’s well established and successful song writers.
