August 15 @ 8:30 pm – 10:30 pm
Back by popular demand for their fourth appearance at Sea Church Ballycotton, following multiple sell-out shows, The Barry McGivern Band returns with their blistering tribute to Irish guitar legend Rory Gallagher.
Described by Donal Gallagher as “simply, absolutely brilliant”, this is no ordinary tribute. With over 300 shows and ten years on the road, the band delivers high-energy rock and blues with incredible authenticity, capturing the tone, dynamics, and raw spirit of Rory’s legendary performances.
Fronted by Barry McGivern, a self-taught guitarist and one of Ireland’s hidden gems, the band doesn’t just replicate Rory’s style – they channel it. Every solo, every crescendo, every whisper of harmonics is delivered with passion and precision, making each show a unique and electrifying experience.
Whether you’re a die-hard Rory fan or love powerful, no-holds-barred blues rock, this is a gig that will leave you sweating, smiling, and shouting for more.
Sea Church Express Shuttle
The Sea Church Express is your easy, return shuttle service to Ballycotton – perfect for a night out without the hassle of driving. Departing from Cobh and passing through Midleton, Cloyne, Shanagarry the shuttle gets you to Ballycotton 90 minutes before showtime.

After the show, the bus departs 30 minutes later – giving you time to enjoy an encore or one more drink before heading back to your original pick-up point.
