Country music star, Louise Morrissey, will perform back in her home town of Tipperary on Thursday, May 11, for the opening night of the Tipperary Town Music Festival, which runs from May 11 to 14. Appearing as a guest performer to Cliona Hagan, the Bansha Lass says that Tipperary is her home town and that she is delighted to be sharing the stage with Cliona, who is one of the rising stars in the country music scene. The Friday night line up features The Tumbling Paddies, a young, talented and energetic six piece band from Co. Fermanagh, who have taken the music scene by storm over the past four years.
