Ronan O Snodaigh and Myles O'Reilly at An Taibhdhearc

What to Expect

Ronan O Snodaigh and Myles O’Reilly play An Taibhdhearc on Saturday 5 September 2026 at 8:00 PM, with tickets listed at €20. O Snodaigh is best known as the bodhran player and singer with Kila, and his collaborations with the film-maker and multi-instrumentalist Myles O’Reilly have produced a quieter, more spacious sound than the Kila catalogue, built around Irish-language song, hand percussion and layered instrumental beds.

An Taibhdhearc is Ireland’s national Irish-language theatre and it sits on Middle Street in Galway’s Latin Quarter. It is a seated house of a few hundred, which makes it a very different listening room from the standing venues elsewhere in the city: the audience is sitting, the sound is controlled, and quieter material carries. The venue programmes concerts alongside its drama season, and this date appears on its own published events list, which is the source for the details here. Doors and support arrangements were not published, so arrive in good time for the 8:00 PM start.

Getting There

An Taibhdhearc is on Middle Street, a pedestrian-friendly street in the Latin Quarter, two minutes’ walk from Shop Street and about five minutes from Eyre Square. There is no parking at the theatre itself, so drivers coming in on the N6 should use the Fairgreen, Jury’s Inn or Corbett Court multi-storey car parks and walk in. Galway Ceannt railway and bus station is a five-minute walk away, which makes the train and coach practical for anyone coming from Athenry, Oranmore, Ballinasloe or further afield for an evening show.
