Gearoid McCarthy Live in Concert, Treacy's West County Hotel Ennis

What to Expect

Treacy’s West County Hotel on the Limerick Road in Ennis hosts Gearoid McCarthy in concert on Friday 23 October 2026. Doors open at 8pm and the show begins at 8:30pm, with the night running for around three hours. The hotel bills it as an evening of Irish folk music, and seating is unreserved, so arriving close to doors is worth doing if you want a particular spot.

Treacy’s is one of the main function venues in Ennis and runs a regular programme of dancing weekends, tea dances and concerts through the year, so the room is set up for live music with a dance floor rather than fixed theatre seating. That suits a folk bill: people sit for the ballads and get up for the faster numbers.

Tickets are handled directly by the hotel as well as through Eventbrite, and the hotel’s reception takes bookings by phone on 065 686 9600. The Eventbrite listing states that no refunds are available, so check the date carefully before booking. The concert falls on the Friday before the October bank holiday, which is a busy weekend in Ennis.
