$Gearoid McCarthy \/\/ Live at Paddo RSL, Sydney$

From the banks of the Shannon in Foynes, Co. Limerick, Gearóid McCarthy brings the heart of Ireland to every stage he steps onto. His warm, powerful voice and outstanding performances create an instant bond with audiences, with songs rooted in tradition and truly alive in the moment. Music isn’t just something he performs, it’s a living connection, and brings people together across oceans and generations.
His love for Irish music was born at home, where our most cherished songs were sung to him by his father, and that passion has carried him from local sessions in Ireland to stages across the world, where his voice, full of stories and soul, captivates crowds time and again.
Gearóid's success began with RTÉ’s Class Act and The All-Ireland Talent Show with 'Mad For Road'. His All-Ireland Fleadh Cheoil singing titles marked his gift as a storyteller through song, and he featured with the Celtic Legends in over 40 countries, but it’s his heartfelt authenticity that keeps his audiences spellbound.
His original song “Going Out For One,” topped the charts in seven countries, and his heartfelt “A Place Called Newfoundland,” resonates far beyond Ireland. These reveal Gearóid’s unique ability to weave personal roots with universal themes, and his gift for carrying the Irish spirit wherever he goes has won him fans across the globe.
Gearóid McCarthy embarks on his first-ever solo tour of Australia in January 2026 bringing his unmistakable voice and the soul of Ireland to a whole new audience. Prepare for laughter and tears, warmth, passion, and a true sense of home on every Australian stage. A bridging of continents through the timeless magic of Irish music.
