Mark Irwin: Songs from Movies and Musicals ...

This show scheduled for 21 September in the Mullingar Arts Centre is the ideal introductory event for the Mullingar Shamrocks GAA clubs Sound of the Musicals which takes place the following Saturday night in the Mullingar Park Hotel. Mark Irwin and his friends promise to provide a wonderful night's entertainment in aid of T.E.A.M. ... an initiative closely associated with our President, Detty Cornally and one which Mullingar Shamrocks has regularly supported.

Mark Irwin has the Mullingar Shamrocks DNA in his veins and was an All-Ireland medal winner in Scor na nOg in 2006 when he formed a title winning ballad group with Rory Hughes, Jemma McNamee, Aoife Gavin and Katie McCarthy . We tend to forget how good a footballer Mark was and that he played cornerback for Mullingar Shamrocks in 2010. The programme notes for that final recorded that 'Mark broke onto the senior team this year after some outstanding displays for the Under-21s earlier in the season. Has been possibly Shamrocks most consistent defender over the course of the championship and his pace and reading of the game make him out as a star of the future'.

Prophetic words indeed but not in the a manner expected as Mark star was to shine brightly on the stage and of course continues to shine. Mark went on to train at the London School of Musical Theatre where he was a recipient of the Andrew Lloyd Webber Scholarship and has starred in The Commitments at the Palace Theatre in London's West End, was lead soloist in Tenors of Rock and filled a similar role on the European tour of The 12 Tenors his current group of choice. Something has to be done to stop this drain of talent from the club.

Tickets for the TEAM event are selling fast and cost €20 each.

There is also a rumour that Mark will be one of the judges for the Mullingar Shamrocks Sound of the Musicals.

No pressure team Commitments.
