Saw Docs and Sharon for big nights in with Gaybo

Date Published: 30-May-2012

Two of Galway’s best-loved musical acts are set to join Gay Byrne for the new series of ‘For One Night Only’ on RTE television . . . and Galway-based fans have been invited to apply for tickets for the recordings of both shows.

The veteran broadcaster will interview Sharon Shannon at the RTE studios in Dublin next Tuesday, June 5, before being joined by The Saw Doctors in the Donnybrook studios on the following Friday, June 8.

RTE has up to 200 tickets available for both recordings, which will last about two and a half hours, and they have invited Galway fans to get in touch if they wish to attend.

It is the second series of a successful show which saw Byrne feature acts such as Christy Moore and Imelda May first time around. Byrne interviews the musicians in front of a studio audience, before inviting them to play six or seven songs.

The second series, which also features Sinead O’Connor, Finbar Furey, and Aslan, is set to be broadcast in the coming months.
