Thurles Information

Thurles Musical Festival, featuring some of Irelands most talented tribute bands, got underway yesterday, July 9th, 2022.

It was lovely to see music fans of all ages turn out in large numbers again after what has been a turbulent past two years, caused by the Covid-19 virus.

The free family festival continues again today, so if you are out and about and wondering where to aim, target Thurles, with music expected from Tribute bands:- The Beatles, Ed Sheeran, Rod Stewart, Oasis and I Love the 80’s, beginning sharp at 1:30pm.

A Funfair is also located in the immediate area for those visiting with children.

This Free Event is fully outdoors and the temperature here in Thurles, is expected to be at least 25° with weather – Sunny.

We will be back with more pictures of yesterday’s event and hopefully this afternoon’s promising series of events, over the coming days, so do check-in.

Happy Father’s Day to all you Dads, Granddads and Great Granddads, both here in Thurles, Co. Tipperary and elsewhere around the globe.

My Old Man

Written by Zac Brown, Niko Moon and Ben Simonetti.

He was a giant
And I was just a kid
I was always trying
To do everything he did
I can still remember every lesson he taught me
Growing up learning how to be
Like my old man
He was a lion
We were our father’s pride
But I was defiant
When he made me walk the line
He knew how to lift me up
And when to let me fall
Looking back, he always had a plan
My old man
My old man
Feel the callous on his hands
And dusty overalls
My old man
Now I finally understand
I have a lot to learn
From my old man
Now I’m a giant
Got a son of my own
He’s always trying
To go everywhere I go
Do the best I can to raise him up the right way
Hoping that he someday wants to be
Like his old man
My old man
I know one day we’ll meet again
As he’s looking down
My old man
I hope he’s proud of who I am
I’m trying to fill the boots of my old man
My old man
